If ever there was a picture that illustrates being born again, this would be it! Casting off the old, revealing the new life within. We each have the opportunity to start each day new. Let yesterday go, there is nothing you can change about it! Call on the Holy Spirit to guide us through the new day, our thoughts, our words, our intentions, our actions; place ALL in His Holy capable hands, seeking His wisdom…not the world’s wisdom.
We hear less and less about being “born again” in today’s world! But Scripture clearly states the importance of this intentional action. In the words of Jesus…John 3:6-7 “Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, you must be born again.” And in 1Peter1:23, “For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living Word of God. And then again in 1John 4:7, Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.”
All believers belong to God, who loves us more than we can ever comprehend! What JOY in knowing that fact. What PEACE in living in that fact. It’s so easy to get wrapped up in the pressures, and worries of the day, but we have an Advocate in the Holy Spirit, who gave us new life when we first believed. Hold on to that truth, no matter what mountain you face….He is with you and will never forsake you. Isaiah 41:13…For I Am the Lord your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.”
