"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." 2 Corinthians 5:17
Hey Love! I must admit, sometimes, I am amazed at my own self. Who is this cutie starring back at me in the mirror? She doesn't look like the person she used to be. Thank God!
Here's what I love about today's scripture: old things are passed away; behold, ALL things are become new.
God is so super amazing. When He removes the old, unwanted, unuseful stuff. He replaces it with a brand spanking new upgrade. This is why it is important to understand why you must release the old man, your nasty filthy habits and sins that separate you from the fullness of Gods. Why? Because God has a bucket of newness filled with refreshing times, just for you.
The key word here is "if". If any man be in Christ... If you are in Christ, you are a new creature, a new person, a new doer and a new thinker - no questions asked.
Only one in Christ can be made brand new. There is a newness of life that comes along with being His child. There is a wiping away or a cleansing that takes place in the mind and spirit.
One day you will notice that you have no desire to do the things you used to do or interact with certain people.
One day you will notice that all you want is more of Him.
One day you will notice that if God be for you, who can be against you.
One day you will notice a change.
And you will be a new creature. It's not magic, it's Jesus. During our daily walk with Christ we are ever changing and our heart and spirit are being renewed. Take notice of your life. Take a quick look back. See, where God has brought you from, but even more, see where He is taken you.
I know you want more and you desire to be in an even greater space, but thank God you are not where you once were. You are not where you once were physically, emotionally, or spiritually. Right?
God is doing a work in you that even you won't believe. Trust in Him. Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ (Philippians 1:6).
Change! What a wonderful change that has come over you (and me)!
Peace & blessings,
