Want That

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! ~ 2 Corinthians 5:17

It's an amazing gift. Someone makes an unbearable sacrifice and we all benefit from it. I once heard our pastor say, "God bankrupted heaven for you and I"; what a thought, but oh so true. All you have to do is accept Jesus Christ for who he is as the son of God and that he died for you and accept that gift from the cross and you are a new creation. Something supernatural happens. My mind puts it into terms of a caterpillar turning into a beautiful butterfly; it's a transformation that is so complete that there is no remnants of the caterpillar attributes any longer; you only see the beauty in the new creation. Some of us need to shout, "THANK GOD!" to the fact that the old has gone; it's not a person we may even want to, or need to recognize. The dirty is washed and made completely clean; it's Clorox bleach on turbo strength and it's glorious. We now belong to a new world filled with hope, peace and joy that can replace the doubt, turmoil and fear that we once lived in. As a new creation we are born into a spirit world that goes to battle for us throughout this temporary life here on planet earth. We are now part of a bigger plan, a bigger purpose and we are called a child of the Almighty God our Father. Who doesn't want that? Hallelujah! ~
