Revelation 21:5 (ESV)
5 And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”
God tells us that He makes all things new. When He enters your heart, things are supposed to change. If we have anger issues, Christ’s influence should change us for the better. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says “17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” What is your life looking like?
There is a song that asks, “When they see me, do they see you?” What do people see in you? Are you setting the example you want to set? People learn more about you by what you do rather than what you say. Would you want others to behave as you behave? Do you want others to catch what you have? When you accept Christ as your Lord and Savior, things are supposed to change; not immediately but over time. He will change you for the better from the inside out. He will open your heart to see what he sees. He sees us as His beloved children. He sees what we can become. He knows how you were made since He made you. And when He made you, He destined you for great things. But to get to your destiny, you will need to change and grow.
God can renew you through the transforming of your mind and your heart. Day by day, there are little changes. What used to upset you doesn’t matter anymore. Your focus is on Jesus and how He asked you to live. You can endure the challenges more easily. It is not what happens to you that determines how far you go in life; it is what you do about what happens to you. Do you react or respond? Today, will you pause and think about what is happening and decide how you will respond or will it be the same old, same old? What example will you set? Whose light will you shine? Thank you Lord that we are being transformed by You.
Lord, change us from the inside out! Let us show the world we belong to you by the way we love. Let us love others as You have loved us! In Your name we pray!
