Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.  2 Corinthians 5:17  NAS 

When you accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, you are born anew and welcomed into God’s loving family. This transformation marks a complete reversal from your past life, granting you a fresh start in Christ. Just as we find joy in giving gifts to loved ones, the Lord delights when we accept His gift of salvation! He rejoices as He welcomes another child into His family. Our Lord cherishes us deeply! Do you share the close relationship with Him that He longs for? 

Dear Heavenly Father,

I give You glory, honor, and praise because You are worthy! Thank You for the gift of new life in Christ and for calling me Your child. Lord, draw me nearer to You each day and shape me to be more like Jesus. Use me to reach those who are lost and broken. Open my eyes to every opportunity to be Your hands and feet. Help me to extend the kindness and grace to others that You have so patiently shown me.

I love you, Lord, Amen.
