As I was spending my quiet time with the Lord this morning, I read this scripture:
2 Corinthians 5: 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
Wow! What a great thought to start your day. We can be new creations in Christ.
We spend so much time each morning getting ready for the world. We shower, primp and put on our nice clothes and head out the door. Maybe we should have just taken a few more minutes to become a new creation in Christ.
How to become a new creation in Christ
It isn’t as hard as it sounds. In fact it is very easy. All you have to do is spend time with the Lord in His Word and in prayer. He will give you all you need for the day ahead. He can remove all your worries and fears. He can fill your heart with joy and peace. He will be with you and guide you in everything you do each day.
Most of us spend way too much time putting ourselves down. We think that we are overweight, unattractive and just generally a mess. That’s not how God sees us. We are His children and He thinks we are just right. All the attributes we fret over are not even worthy of a thought. God doesn’t see us through the eyes of the world.
Look at yourself through God’s eyes. The old has gone, the new is here! Live your life for Him today. Know that you are precious in His sight and forget about what everyone else thinks. You will be filled with a freedom that only Jesus can give.
