Letter From the Editor
Greetings and welcome to the December issue of HimPower Magazine . It is almost Christmas , and for those who know the blessings they received in 2016 and in years past were possible only because of Christ , it is the most joyous time of year .
However , sometimes it is easy to lose sight of all that Christ is when we find ourselves struggling with hurt , disappointments , bitterness , in need of forgiveness , experienced loss of job , loss of home , loss of love or loss of family . It is easy to get so focused on our loss — our situation — that we forget , at least temporarily , how much we have as long as we have Christ who gives us life and another opportunity to hope , to believe , to trust in Him who heals and delivers when we allow Him .
For whatever reason , if you find yourself struggling this Christmas because of pain or disappointment , heartache or despair , we believe you will be helped by the spiritual nuggets shared by our contributors , from The Healing of Our Loving God by Angela Steele , to Letting Go of the Past , Looking Towards the Future by Jennifer Workman , to God is With You and That Makes the Difference by Evangelist Uche , to There is No One Like You by DiAnne Malone , and First You Make Your Choices - Then Your Choices Make You by Eturuvie Erebor . As you read each , let the Holy Spirit speak to your heart if you need healing or something is stealing your joy . Of all the gifts you receive , the blessed assuredness of who Christ is , His Love and His promises to heal your hurts , will lift your spirits and give you the greatest joy .
If you are already in a good place and are filled with joy for the many blessings you have received , perhaps you would like to know how you can give back and bless someone else . In our cover story , we feature Ebony
Perkins , who founded The Philanthropist Next Door . The idea is so simple , it is revolutionary ! You will be surprised at how easy you can become a part of this growing trend .
Of course , your health is always top of mind and this issue is no exception . We believe you will be blessed with The Gift of Health offered by Angela ’ s FaithnFitness along with warnings about ibuprofen and acetaminophen offered in Terry Talks Nutrition and whether it ’ s safe to mix natural products with prescription medication in Ask Dr . Lomax .
On a lighter note , Kevin Morgan gives an insightful Book Review about an author whose writing style is worth the read . And as promised , we are happy to announce the third and final HopRocket Contest Winner , Amber Oates ! Congratulations to Amber and our thanks to all who participated .
Another round of thanks goes to each of you and to all who provided feedback about what we ’ re doing well and what you would like to see going forward as we gear up for next year . For the past few months , we have been working behind the scenes . We will continue through the first 60 days of 2017 when we will finalize all of the changes currently underway . There is more to come when we re-launch with the first issue of HimPower Magazine in March 2017 . ( All subscriptions will resume at that time .) All Praise to God Who is making provisions--we are excited about the blessings that lie instore for 2017 .
Thank you for your support of Him- Power Magazine and the work we strive to do . We pray each of you will have a very Merry Christmas and blessed and prosperous New Year ! To God be the Glory .
