2 Corinthians 5: 17 – 19
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
Lord, at the beginning of this new week,
remind me that I am made new in Christ,
the slate is wiped
and I begin each week, each day,
new with you.
Too often I forget I am a new creation,
I feel only “refurbished”,
and sooner or later
the varnish peels, the polish fades
and I slip back.
So make me new today
help me forgive myself
and so move on to forgive others.
