It’s a new month and for those who know me and those who have come to know me through this blog, know that I’m excited! Why? I get to change the pictures on my calendars. There’s something so fresh and free and clean about a new calendar page!
I talk of this a lot and will continue to because, as people, we have a hard time forgiving ourselves, forgetting our slights and sins, moving past the old and on toward the new.
The Lord tells us our mercies are new every day! But do we allow ourselves that joyous freedom? We, as children born again of Jesus Christ, are new creations. Yet do we see, feel, or behave as a prince or princess of the King of kings and the Lord of lords?
Lamentations 3:22-23 ESV “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”
2 Corinthians 5:17 NLT “This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun.”
I’m a new person! I have begun a new life! Then why do I still feel, look, and am dealing with the same? I’m glad you asked; this is where the calendar comes back into play.
I think each new month is an excellent place to start practicing! So let’s start today, ok? Are you with me? Whenever an old negative pops up! Stop it by saying, “No, that was last month’s” when Satan whispers an old sin or error, “remind him that was last month” it might have been years ago but remember we are practicing with letting go of last month’s mistakes in growing toward previous week’s mistakes until we finally can wake up each morning and throw away yesterday’s calamities and keep them away freeing us to receive a blessed clean new slate every morning.
It’s a new day of a new month! Be free in your spirit and enjoy the air around you. God has given you another day, be blessed in it!
Thank you for joining me…I’m off to change my pictures 🥰
