New Life

Some good friends had a precious little baby born into this world yesterday. A little early, but doing fabulous. (I believe because of the power of prayer!) But all I kept thinking of was "new life" and how precious it is. Don't even get me started on the abortion issue as those of us who are friends with this family know how important it has been to keep this baby in the womb as long as possible so that he would have a chance at life. But that's not really the topic for these thoughts. A new, unused, perfect life born yesterday. What I started thinking about was that we can have the privilege of having that new life in Christ. We can be made new. A totally new, unused future made new by the blood of Jesus Christ. Just like this perfect little baby. It's so easy, yet we complicate it. We make it hard. But it's only a matter of choice, and Jesus says yes, "you are a new creation, the old has gone and the new has come." 2 Cor. 5:17. Aww... there is nothing more precious than a newborn baby. And I believe, there is nothing more precious to God than one person becoming a new creation or newborn baby in Him. Thank you baby Bryson, for reminding me of this awesome gift.
