Rejoice - a new day has begun!

We do not have to wait till the day when Jesus returns, to become new, transformed people!

It all starts here and now.  It begins on the day God reconciles us with Godself. On the day we experience our redemption, we celebrate by singing and shouting:  a new day has begun!

As we read in 2 Corinthians 5:17ff:    “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:  The old has gone, the new is here!  All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:   that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ,

All this is from God.   The Holy Spirit recreates me into someone new.

This new person does not hide or run away from God anymore. This new person does not oppose the values of God’s Kingdom or the dream, the vision and prayer our Lord has for the Church and his people.

The new “me” thirsts for friendship with my God and longs to walk with God.  The new “me” wants to work for God.  I now celebrate that my sins do not count against me anymore.   I beg the Lord that I may become a change agent for his sake. The new “me” only seeks the glory and honour of my God in every aspect of life.

And we shout it out every day:  A new day has begun!
