The Old and the New

Today daily bread very suit to me and know that this is God want to tell me~

If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. —2 Corinthians 5:17

What if you were to ask God what He wants you to change, improve, or begin this year? He might tell you to:

Demonstrate more of the fruit of the Spirit in your life, which is “love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control” (Gal. 5:22-23).

“Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who . . . persecute you” (Matt. 5:44).

“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15).

“Be content with such things as you have” (Heb. 13:5).

“Walk according to His commandments” (2 John 1:6).
As believers and new creations, we can be free from old patterns and failures. We must ask God to help us live each day in the power of the Holy Spirit. Then we can shed the old and embrace the new (2 Cor. 5:17).
