A Daily Devotion for December 28, Monday

2 Corinthians 5:17

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

The concept of being able to “start over” is such an important part of my Christian life. If I couldn’t start over, I would be a mess of tears and guilt. Starting over means asking God for forgiveness, asking those I have wronged for forgiveness, forgiving oneself, and then moving forward with a renewed sense of purpose. I believe God makes me a new creation each day, starting fresh and blameless.

Lord, I need only ask you for forgiveness, and I know it is given. It is there for me before I even ask. I don’t know how I can possibly live up to such an awesome gift. I am thankful. Amen
