Fresh and new...
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new". llCor.5:17 The New Living Translation says,"This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life has gone; a new life has begun". The Message Translation says, "Now we look inside, and what we see is that anyone united with the Messiah gets a fresh start, is created new. The old life is gone; a new life burgeons". The Amplified Bible says,"Therefore if any person is ingrafted in Christ the Messiah he is a new creation, a new creature altogether; the old previous moral and spiritual condition has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come". SELAH!!!

Oh yes, we serve a God who specializes in new things and new beginnings. I am reminded of the song by the Newsboys where they sing about how God is doing a new thing based on Isaiah 43:18-19. One of my favorite versus on this theme is Lamentations 3:21-23 which the Lord used to encourage me the night that my mother died. God's mercies are truly new every morning which is why when I fall down 7 times I can get up again (Proverbs 2:17) and when someone sins against me 490 times I forgive them and thereby allow them a new beginning( Matthew 18:21-22) and one of the most awesome new beginnings our heavenly Father gave me in this lifetime occurred on 1-27-07 when Miss Cindy, became Mrs Cindy my Proverbs 31 wife. I love you sweet Cindy!
