II 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.”
Hello friends! I want you to know there are days when you will decide that it just isn’t your day; there’s nothing going right; there’s only negative vibes flowing through everything you are touching. But, yeah but; if you just stop, take a breath, focus, the pray; you will gain a peace unlike any you’ve ever known just wash all over you! First thing is, were you awakened today? Are you breathing the breath of life that gives you cause to live? Who has given this day, with whatever it is dishing out, to you? How can you, a child of God, not know that God is in control? Pause one more time; have you thought of just how bad it could have been, or could still be, or that there are starving children all around us that we know nothing about? When we called on Jesus to break down the barriers of sin that plagued our lives, we took on a task like no other! We chose to transform our character, our dispositions, our mindsets; into a Christlikeness; a life that mirrored Jesus’ life! To gain back the positive of this day that the devil thought he could cause havoc with, we need to call on the maker of all creation! We need to remember that we are called to become selfless, humble and obedient, and to love ourselves while loving others; thereby leading us to trust God! Get off your negative high horse and get back to the mission of renewing your mind in Godly ways, studying God’s word, helping others, and spreading the gospel! As you get back to the real basics of living, your life and especially this day you were given; will start flowing in the right direction. Push yourself to be what God called you to be, what He needs you to show others. Think positive even when you feel there is no way; be more like Jesus!
