BEHOLD, ALL THINGS HAVE BECOME NEW!
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
It's the time if year when we see deer standing next to the roads in our area. Often as we get closer we'll see that there is a wobbly fawn standing under it's mother. At times the little ones won't be more than a few minutes old, as they will still be wet and it's legs will be bracing to the sides. It's an amazing thing to behold.
I was reminded how beautiful new life is. That fawn is a sure sign of a new season, like the bright green new leaves on trees in the spring. The greyness of late winter has passed and the new life has come.
In 2 Cor 5:17 it says that if any man be in Christ he IS a "new creation". How beautiful is that? And I don't see where that ever goes away. Once we become a new creation, we are always a new creation.
Like the fawn is to us, we are to God, a beautiful, precious creation.
As a season ends and the summer season is starting we see new growth in every direction. May our lives be the same. May our new creation grow into exactly what God is calling us to become. Answer His call to become what He wants of you.
Behold, all things have become new!
