March Week 1 Day 2: Choose A Time of Renewing and Refreshing

"16So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 18All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:"
2 Corinthians 5:16-18
As we began to look at the road to the cross, His death and His resurrection, we remember not only what Christ did for us, but also what it meant for us. It did not stop at Christ dying for our sins. The suffering and death was the first part. The resurrection gave us a chance for a new life.
The most important decision you will ever make is accepting Christ as your Lord and Savior of your life. It is crucial and has to be made so you may spend eternity with God. But why do we let it stop there. Yes, we are promised a new life and a new earth one day, but girl...you are a new creation now. You are chosen by God now. You have promises from God today. Yes you may have to give up some old habits, but is it not worth it?
My sister and friend, you are God's creation and once Christ came into your life, you became a new creation. So why do you choose to live as the old? Why not choose to live as the new creation you are in Christ?
As new flowers start to bloom, old, empty trees become full of life and bloom, or as the baby bird hatches from its egg, you my sister in Christ are a new creation too. Let's to choose to live as on and experience the abundant life of Christ.
