April 7 — New Creation

What this episode covers

There is a lie you may have been told —perhaps by someone else,perhaps by yourself.The lie says: you are just your past.You are just your failures.You are what you've doneand who you've been.But Scripture speaks a different truth."If anyone is in Christ,she is a new creation.The old has passed away.Behold, the new has come."New.Not improved.Not repaired.New.God is not in the business of patching you upand sending you back out.He makes things new.You get to walk into todaynot dragging the old version of yourself with you.Not apologizing for who you used to be.You are new.That means the shame loses its grip.The old story doesn't get to write the new chapter.What someone said about you in the pastdoes not determine who you are today.You are in Christ.You are new.Walk like it.Prayer:God, help me walk in the newness You have given me.The old things have passed.I receive who I am in You.Amen.
