My prayer for you for today is a prayer for renewal in
your life, a new you with new thoughts and a new attitude with a new nature
created to be like God, in Jesus name.
Ephesians
4:21-24
Since
you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from Him, throw
off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by
lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and
attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous
and holy.
Sunrise. I love the way the African sun breaks through
the darkness and brings light all over the land. As the warm sun rays touch the
ground and embrace the plants, they start to lighten up and you can almost see
how they rejoice in the sunlight warming them up, after a cool night. Even the
animals come out of there shelter to bask in the morning sun warming up their
bodies and almost being renewed for the new day ahead.
When Jesus brings light into your life after you have
given up your old ways, your mind and body goes through a transformation. The
warmth of His love fills your spirit and you start to bloom and radiate with
His light. As the plants open their flowers to be filled with this life giving
light you too must open your heart and mind and allow the Holy Spirit to fill
it with God’s glory. Let the Holy Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes so
that you can be a new creation, created to be like God.
My dear friend, don’t let this world pull you into the
shade to keep you cold and stiff so that you cannot feel the warmth of God’s
love. Instead ask the Holy Spirit for wisdom and strength, so that you will see
through the traps the enemy has laid and that you will know how to avoid being
caught in them. Let the warm light of Jesus radiate through you so that you can
touch the lives of those you meet with Godly strength and Godly wisdom. Don’t
miss out on the opportunity to show Jesus, even if it is only a smile, a hug, a
little time, a little patience or a little understanding. When Jesus is in your
heart, He should be in all of you.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus, with your new
nature, created to be like God – truly righteous and holy.
Cheers
