February 07: Meeting the challenge

Word:

So if any man is in Christ, he is in a new world: the old things have come to an end; they have truly become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17)

When we decide to respond to God's call to walk with Him, we must be aware that this call includes a challenge: to be willing to change.

But what does that change mean? Reflect on what we are, about those things that in the light of the word, away from the Lord and those things that come to Him. To respond to the call is to become more caring, generous, kind; is to begin to undertake in our work and word, the actions that reflect the love of God in our heart.

We all have different personalities and each person advances at his own speed to become that new creature in image and likeness, which the Lord expects of us. However, one thing is certain: God continues to support you in that work, continue every day working on you. Your new creation!

Prayer:

Lord, make me wise to distinguish well from evil, in each of my steps, so that I can walk away without hesitation, those things that can separate me from your presence. Make me also humble and obedient to allow you to work in me and bring me to change that will make me into that new creation, a reflection of you. Amen.
