Year 2025 is quite a stretch for everyone but I praise God it didn't reached our breaking point but rather enlarged us in many good ways:
* Personal Growth: The year was a period of significant personal development, learning hard lessons, and discovering inner strength and purpose.
* Faith and Trust: The difficulties of this year taught us to lean more on faith in God, trusting His larger plan even when things were uncertain or painful.
* Challenges and Trials: Has "stretched" us to overcome unexpected difficulties, losses, anxieties, discouragements, and hardships.
* Timing and Purpose: The attitude of gratitude for how the challenges "shaped" or "refined" us, believing these moments of pressure were actually preparation for future blessings and/or greater purpose.
* Reflection and Resilience: The end of this year prompted reflection on survival and resilience, being proud of enduring these "stretching" moments. making us ready and confident for the year ahead.
Now may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, that after we have suffered a while in 2025, will now perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle us. And His grace abounds towards us, always having all sufficiency in all things, be in good health, and being fruitful abundance in every good work.
Have a fruitful 2026 to us all!
