Put On the New
Put off the old; put on the new ~from Ephesians 4:22-24
We continually experience this…think about it. Every year is new, every month, week, day, even every minute! Wow. That means we have an on-going opportunity to start over. The Bible uses the word ‘repent’, which to me, sounds so religious (screaming preachers pounding the pulpit), but what it literally means is an about-face. You’re going on one direction and you abruptly turn around and go in the opposite direction. When I’m mad or irritated, I often think of that image - it helps me to regroup and start afresh.
Paul said, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things passed away; behold, all things have become new." ~2 Corinthians 5:17
Paul goes on to tell them that they can't do it on their own - but with the Holy Spirit, all things are possible. Can you hear him talking to you? Listen...hear the whisper of the Holy Spirit, "you are NEW. Every day you are renewed. I know you messed up, but God's love is greater. Nothing can separate you from that love. Put off that old human and wear the new one proudly - it’s made like Me - I will help you every step of the way."
