How is it that our unchanging, steadfast,
faithful and loving God can create change in us in the most astounding ways?
Our outward appearance and actions may appear and feel the same at first. Over
time, the change begins. It is a work of the heart.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new
creation has come. The old has gone. The new is here! 2 Corinthians 5:17
You are a new creation! The changes may be
subtle; a little more loving here, a little less anger there, a sprinkle of
forgiveness here, a touch of kindness there. The annoying becomes bearable. The
bitterness softens. The cravings of the old life fade and a hunger develops for
goodness and righteousness.
For
you were once darkness; but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of
light; for the fruit of the light consists of goodness, righteousness and
truth. And find out what pleases the Lord. Ephesians 5:8-10
Our gracious God creates in us a new heart
that transforms our way of life. Walk
today as a child of the light! The new has come. The old has gone. Believe in
the work of the One who loves you. He is faithful and He will do it.
Lord,
Your work in us is miraculous. It
is all You and Your Holy Spirit doing the work from the inside out and we
praise You.
In Jesus name,
Amen
