A NEW CREATURE

Today’s Text: 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)

Today’s Thoughts: Anything you wish you could change about yourself? I believe we’re all a bunch of broken people. Think about it, deep down inside you must have something that you’re not happy with about who you are. If you feel everything is absolutely perfect in your life, you might just be deceiving yourself; but I believe we all have things we hope to change. The good news is that God can change us. He can make totally new creatures out of our broken lives.

Today’s Testimony: I went on a church camp a while ago. On the Saturday evening we had an agape supper. That is a Holy Communion service followed by a light supper spent in fellowship with each other.
During the short sermon at the beginning I had a conversation with the Lord. I thought about how people often say that Christ thought of us while He was on the cross. I asked Him, “Lord, did You really think of me while You were on the cross? …What did You think?” His response was, “Well, what would you think of yourself?” I replied, “Pretty broken.” Then He said, “That’s what I saw. …But I thought, I’m going to change her.”
We serve an amazing God!!! He doesn’t expect us to perfect ourselves – He changes us. He does what it is impossible for us to do for ourselves. Yes, we do have a part to play. We need to fully surrender to Him. I’m busy writing a song entitled All Is All.
Let me share a piece of it with you:

I surrender all
All to You O Lord
Nothing less than full surrender
I surrender all
And all is all!

Then a piece of another song I wrote:

Broken little girl, who needs to be restored
Where else could she go, but to the feet of her Lord
She wants to be made whole, but she cannot see how
God knows and He says He wants to do it now

“I brought you out of the dust, and I can do it again
If in Me you trust and on Me you depend
I can make you whole, though shattered you may be
For every wounded soul is precious to Me”

Today’s Task: Please surrender to the Lord – a full surrender. Do it today. He wants you to be in Him. He longs to have the go ahead to change you; to make you new; whole. Trust Him. He will not disappoint you.

Today’s Thanks: Lord I thank You that You can make us whole. You can change broken people. Lord help us to surrender – all. Make us into new creatures; we long to be whole, but no where near as much as You long to make us whole. Lord help us. I thank You that You will. Amen.
