Recently I was with a
good friend of mine that knows me extremely well. We were having a great time
together chatting and joking around. At one point, though, she went to far on
the joking level and really pushed the envelope way out of proportion. It was
as if she had thrown ice cold water in my face, and she actually didn't
think a thing about it. I calmly changed the subject and we went about our day.
I spent some time with the Lord about it, and he brought me peace with the
situation.
The part of the
conversation that I had with my friend that was disheartening was that she
threw my past up in my face as if it was still a part of me. Yes, it was in a
joking manner but was done distastefully and a complete lie from the pits of
hell. I still have not comfronted her and maybe never will, but the Lord
reminds me daily who I am in Him.
His Word says...
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;
old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new."
2 Corinthians 5:17
After giving my life to
Christ, I am now a brand new creation in His eyes. My past is fully
behind me, forgotten and forgiven in Jesus. I am now truly a
Princess and Well Loved, Cherished Daughter of the MOST HIGH GOD!!! All
guilt, shame and condemnation have been flushed away never to taunt me again!!
I rejoice daily that my
life is hidden in Christ and that I am a radically and eternally
transformed creation of His! I wouldn't have it any other way.
In His Amazing Love,
Sandy Billingham
This is the ultimate gift or salvation that we can become brand new and never be who we were before....brand new...free forever
