2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
COME TO ME JUST AS YOU ARE. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you. (Ezekiel 36:26) I am aware of the many stones that mar the beauty of your heart. Trust Me to do what you are unable to do; remove the stony bits one by one. Do not expect this work in you to be painless. Many of the hard things you have experienced were unknown to you. When you are going through tough times, look up to Me with a wry smile and thank Me for the renewal I am working within you. This unselfish act of faith does not instantly stop your suffering, but it gives meaning to the pain.
Be amazed at the wonder of being a new creature; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. You are forever set free from the condemning law of sin and death. (Romans 8:1-2) You can rejoice in the glorious truth even while you are in the throes of suffering. Strive to look at your circumstances from a fresh perspective; eager to collaborate with Me as I created a newness in you and through you. Though I am Lord of the universe, I desire to work in a partnership with you and as you say “yes” to this sacred walk with Me, you become more fully the one I designed you to be.
