2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
I was so exhausted on Wednesday night, but something was drawing me to pray. So when I got back from my Kerby date with Seth, I went in to the prayer room. Tired and without expectancy I started to cry because it felt like I was just slipping right back, right back to where I was before, back into all the same patterns with all the same friends and I couldn't conquer it. And then I looked up at the wall. And I saw a list of things that I am in Christ, and the first one I saw was that I am a "New Creation" and that burden of trying to make myself behave disappeared. I don't have to worry and more, because I am a new creation! And God whispered down to me, you are already free from it in me. Don't you worry little girl.
I used to be a caterpillar and now I'm a butterfly, I'm still the same person, but God has transformed every bit of me. A butterfly could not survive if it still though it was a caterpillar, and likewise we cannot survive if we do not claim our new freedom in Christ.
So all you reading this, be blessed and know that YOU are a NEW CREATION. The old is actually gone! And when you feel it creeping back in, you can proclaim freedom in Christ.
