Dearly Beloved in Christ, Warm Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ.

“The steadfast love of the LORD never ends! His mercies never come to an

end. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each day. I say to myself,

"The LORD is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!” (Lamentations

3:22-24). Once again we entered into a new year. As we look into past year

we look at a block of time. We see 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days, 8,760

hours, 525,600 minutes, 31,536,000 seconds. And all is a gift from God. We

have done nothing to deserve it, earn it, or purchased it. Like the air we

breathe, time comes to us as the gift of God. Another thing is that we cannot

bring back the time. Once it is gone, it is gone. Yesterday is lost forever. If

yesterday is lost, tomorrow is uncertain. We may look ahead at a full year’s

block of time, but we really have no guarantee that we will experience. Even

though this is a time for reflections of past. As we look back on the past year

and all that has taken place in our life, remember each experience and

knowledge we have gained. Remember the efforts we have made and goals

we have reached and as we reflect on the past year, also be thinking of the

new one to come. Because this is time of new beginnings and the reflection

of life. So I wish you all a good beginning in 2015 and a prosperous new year.

May LORD help you a lot to achieve your goals.

With prayer and kind regards,

Ninan Jacob Achen
