Completely New

When we turned our will and life over to the care of God, we gave God permission to take our unmanageable life and make us new.  We were unsure that God could and would change us, but the darkness was so great around us that we needed to see light.  In seeking God to do for us what we are powerless to do for ourselves, do we then sit back and wait for things to happen? Our minds have been immersed in earthly things which enabled us to meet the needs of our dependencies, so now where is our focus meant to be to bring about the change we desire? 

By the sacrificial death of Jesus, we were deemed perfect when we gave our life into God’s care.  Our old ways and habitual sins were removed and the new life that we desired came into being.  Now it is time to set our minds on things above and not on earthly desires.  We need to search the Scriptures and learn the principles that God has established to enable us to live the new life we have been given.  

Our former way of life distanced us from God and sank us into the lowest hell.  If we determine to fix our eyes on God’s principles and, like an athlete in training set aside everything that would hinder us from running the race before us, we will find that God’s divine favour will rest upon us and make us whole in body, mind, and spirit.

Let the one who is wise heed these things and ponder the loving deeds of the Lord. (Psalm 107:43 NIV)

Prayer: Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your great love for me and for teaching me Your way of living life to the full. Amen
