Let me be one of the first people to wish you a Happy New Year!!! 2018!
I wanted to thank you for the privilege of serving you in 2017!
As we close out 2017 and look forward to all that God has in store in 2018, I wanted to share a brief encouragement with you.
Throughout 2017 God has repeatedly reinforced the importance of Hope grounded in Him as well as the importance of waiting on Him!
He is our strength and hope and His hope doesn't disappoint!
"Hope that is grounded in Christ is like a candle burning brightly as it brings light to the darkest of places and the darkest of circumstances." -Randolph Koch
Never lose hope as He is on your side!
Include Him in all your goals, plans, dreams and priorities! Don't try to "get ahead" of The Lord! Wait on Him to move forward seeking Him with all that is within you!
No matter what circumstances you face, may you be filled with great hope in Him and may you look forward in optimism because you know The One Who is your strength and holds your future in the palm of His hands!
As you enter the New Year, may you hold onto hope and may you experience joy, happiness, success, confidence, good health, prosperity and great faith! May you seek Him daily with everything that is within you!
Let's also purpose to pray for one another in these areas and more and may we pray that God will continue to work in and through us for His Kingdom and Glory!
Please know that I'm here for your encouragement, prayer and more!
Don't hesitate to let me know how I can be of encouragement to you in the New year and if you have resource or other ideas, please let me know as I aim to create new and meaningful content to serve and build up the Body of Christ.
Please also remember me in prayer as God guides this ministry regarding what He wants to do through A Shepherd's Heart. Please pray for His wisdom, provision and direction.
Have a wonderful 2018! Have a hope filled New Year!
Warmest regards in Christ,
Your Brother and Servant,
Randolph Koch
Founder and Servant-Shepherd of A Shepherd's Heart
