The Crossing of the Threshold

 




The Crossing of the Threshold 

By George Thurlow

The crossing of the threshold

Of a brand new year

Fills some with apprehension 

Anxiety, dread and fear

Transition, change, and passage

Some do loathe to steer.


In navigation of the unknown

One need not be so wary

When led by the Holy Spirit

The new year’s not so scary

And entry o’er the doorstep

Indeed can be quite merry.


Opportunities and blessings 

For Believers now await

As you take the hand of Jesus

Let Him lead you through the gate.

With faith and expectation 

You need not hesitate.


For the crossing of the threshold 

Should not be filled with fear

Christ has overcome, yea the battle’s won

He exhorts,  “Be of good cheer”!

For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.

Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.

John 16:33

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Christ Puts The Merry Into Christmas




Christ Puts the Merry into Christmas

Christ puts the Merry into Christmas 
He delivers joy to every heart
And to those who will receive Him
Even a fresh new start.

Christ Himself is Christmas
Yes He the Perfect Gift
Sent to the world to deliver
And fallen man to lift.

From hopelessness, depression 
Despair and endless gloom
He offers all a turn around
To whom for Christ make room.

Christ came to earth to make things right
From the devil set us free
Reconciling man to God,
Salvation and liberty.

Receive the Reason for the Season
Ask Jesus in your heart
Repent and call upon Him
Then your brand new life will start!
