DAILY.
God saves me daily.
Every day I wake up, I have to remind myself that I am a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Every...
single...
day.
I have to remind myself and let myself become that new creation because almost every day that old me creeps into something. A moment in the car when someone cuts me off. A moment at work when I let pride get the best of me. A moment at home when I let anger take control.
Some days there's more than others. Some days there's almost none.
But no day is ever pErfEcT.
I fail.
A lot.
Take this post, for example. when you get to the end, you'll see a tag-line that says "This is the 8th of 20 posts that I'm calling GaryMo Mondays." I started a project last year...and didn't finish it. Didn't even come close.
I failed.
It's a new year. I could let it go. Start fresh.
But I'm not going to. I'm going to keep plugging on these 20 topics until I finish the list.
I'm a new creation in Christ and He's not finished with me yet. Every day is an opportunity to keep moving towards the person He wants me to be. The person He's called me to be.
Thank you, God, for continuing to save me. For not giving up on me even when I want to give up on myself. Help me to follow Your calling for my life and to be the person You designed me to be.
Amen.
This is the 8th of 20 posts that I'm calling GaryMo Mondays.
