The person who has My commands and KEEPs them is the one who (REALly) loves Me; and whoever (REALly) loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I (too) will love him and will show (reveal, manifest) Myself to him.

I Am New!

I love music! Just about every kind of music but my favorite is Contemporary Christian. One of my very favorite songs is "I Am New" by Jason Gray. Here are a couple lyrics:

I am not who I was
I am being remade
I am new
Dead to the old man I'm coming alive
I am new

Forgiven beloved
Hidden in Christ
Made in the image of the Giver of Life
Righteous and holy
Reborn and remade
Accepted and worthy this is our new name

We are all new creations from the moment we accept Jesus Christ as our personal Saviour. But do you realize that you are a new creation every morning? Lametations 3:22-23 says "Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
We can do away with the old each day and wake up anew in the Presence of Christ. His compassion for us is unfailing! I don't know about you but I am a work in progress and need God's mercy every minute of the day. So give all the stuff from yesterday, this morning, an hour ago or even 5 minutes ago to Christ and let Him give you new mercies at this very moment!
He is wild about you!
