HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Good morning!!! A beautiful day it is in the Lord!!! The only thing that would make this day more beautiful would be the returning of the Lord Jesus Christ!!!! You looked and probably said, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY??" It's not my birthday. Oh, but maybe it is.
2 Corinthians 5:17 "IF ANYONE IS IN CHRIST, HE IS A NEW CREATION; OLD THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY; BEHOLD, ALL THINGS HAVE BECOME NEW."
How many times have you looked in the mirror and wished you looked different? A tummy tuck, wrinkles removed, blemishes taken away, the physique of the marlboro man or a super model.....yep, that would solve it!
No, actually it won't. If we are in Christ, we are a new creation. What you talkin about Willis??? Well, once we are in Christ, we are new from the INSIDE OUT! Our attitude toward ourself, others will all change. We may spend lots of time and money working on our physical appearance, buy really nice new, fancy clothes, fancy jewelry, tanned bodies, but what does this do? It simply covers up our aging body.
When we are renewed by Christ, a new creation, all things have become new. The caring, loving, and passion of Christ will come forth. It comes forth as we are ready, as we mature as a New Creation in Christ. God looks at our heart, not our hairline; judge others on their heart..not on their outward appearance; spend your time and money on areas of GOD,(the inner man) not areas of flesh; accept, freely, what God gives us freely! Let the old things pass away and let all thing become new.
Jimmy Carter, "The first time we're born, as children, human life is give to us; and when we accept Jesus as our Savior, it's a new life. that's what "born again" means."
Thank you for reading. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! We have a rebirth in Christ, but we can renew our covenant to the Lord daily. Lord, here I am, a broken vessel repaired only by you. Take me and make me the vessel you can use today. Thank you for reading. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
Johnny
