Our cover captures the lively waterfalls in the hidden paradise of Bauko, Mountain Province, Philippines, waiting to be discovered and to be shared. It is likened to the Word of God that continuously flows in the deepest recesses of our hearts, even in the most barren of souls, also waiting to be discovered, to be recognized and to be shared with others.

The verse from Isaiah 44:3-4, ‘For I will pour out water on the thirsty soil, streams on the dry ground… they shall grow like grass where there is plenty of water, like poplars by running streams’ is a promise of new life through the Word of the everlasting God, the supreme Source of all Goodness. Let flow the living water in us so we will never go thirsty.

Looking back on the year that was, what are you thirsty for? What is God’s invitation for you to live by in this new year?
