A new year is a chance for a fresh start, a rebirth. Out with the old and in with the new. Scripture says : “Jesus answered and said to him: Amen, amen, I say to thee, unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” - John 3:3
Spiritual rebirth is necessary to enter The Kingdom. For we are all called to shed our fallen, sinful selves and put on our true identity; who we are in the light of The Holy Spirit. Our true selves are who we are when we are one with God.
“To put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.” - Ephesians 4:22-24
We need to be revitalized into wholeness, and into the state that God would like us to dwell in. It’s time to shed that which no longer serves our highest good, and put on the renewal that God offers to us. Are you ready for your rebirth?
I wish you all a happy and blessed New Year and a most joyous Christmas season; which we are still in the midst of because the Christmas season lasts until Candlemas which is on February 2nd! So keep your Christmas decorations up, and continue celebrating the joyous festivities of the season that beholds the birth of The Savior of the world.
