II Corinthians 5:17 –
Therefore, if any person is in Christ he is a new creation the old has passed away.
Behold, the fresh and new has come! NIV, AMP
How are you today? At times, is it hard to believe the old has passed away? Are you doubting as your thoughts and emotions turn back to the past causing anxiety, fretting or disbelief?
Never doubt the transformation taking place inside you through Christ as you put your trust in him alone. Behold and embrace the fresh and new person he is creating even when the changes are not always evident. Never cease to rest in his love, walk in his ways and trust in his power to bring about the transformation in your life. In Christ, nothing is impossible.

Healer / “And Jesus said to him, Go your way; your faith has healed you…” Mark 10:52 NIV, AMP

Our spiritual sight in not blurred but clear. As we trust in Christ, as our healer, he binds our wounds and heals the past hurts and pain in our lives.
Redeemer / “Who gave Himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people eager and zealous of good works.” Titus 2:14 NIV, AMP
Our Redeemer frees us from the bondage and strongholds of sin in our past . He ransoms us from captivity. He restores what the locusts have eaten away and purifies us unto Himself. He redeems, restores and rebuilds the broken walls in our lives into His firm foundation.
Infinite God / “I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, says the Lord God, He Who is and Who was and Who is to come, the Almighty.” Revelation 1:8 NIV, AMP
He is immeasurable, inconceivable and inexhaustible. He sees us and pours out his love. In him we cannot fathom in our hearts and souls how we can contain the depth or height of his infinite love.

Christ in us – He is the perfection of everything. Through his righteousness, we are consecrated (set apart) to be transformed as a new creation. He produces the changes to make us upright, pure and holy.
It is all about Christ, not us. We are mere vessels through which his love flows.
