True Newness

Are there parts of your former self that you still carry around? Do you truly believe that you have been made new in Christ? Your new self, created to be like God, is alive because of what Christ did on the cross. God desires freedom for you. If you are still holding burdens from your past, know that you can place them in God’s hands and trust him for healing. God’s ability to make you new is not incomplete. He takes every part of you into account and he still declares that you are new in Jesus. Your deepest pain is not too much for him. Your worst trauma is not ignored. He wants to see you walk in the wholeness and fullness of life.

As a mom, you are often focusing on the needs of everyone around you. Remember that God sees what you need. He has not put you on hold while you raise your children. As much as before, and as much as he will in the future, he desires to bring healing and wholeness to your life. Be blessed by the truth that as you put off your old self, God meets you.

God, I believe that I am alive in you and made new. I want this to impact every area of my life. Teach me how to walk as a new creation. Show me where I have held onto my former self and help me to surrender that fully to you. You see me and you know what I need.
