Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come” (2 Cor. 5:17). We... need to get back to understanding salvation as what it really is: a miracle that comes from the glorious power of God through the working of the Holy Spirit. --Jon Nielson/The Gospel Coalition

Why don't you just stop and let Him catch you?

I am feeling so awesome right now. I am so having church right here all by myself as I am reflecting on some thoughts!



Don't pause on the problem play on the possibilities. Don't stare at the obstacles, stand on the opportunities. Do not even worry about what you cannot control; instead worship the Almighty who is definitely in control. Don't dwindle in doubt but dive into determination! Don't sink into you sinfulness but swim the living waters toward salvation.



You can't fall into addiction if you are all about His adoration. And you surely will endure life's pain if you press on through with praise. Yet I must stand corrected. I am not by myself. I am with I am. I am in the company of the Angel of the Lord who defends me and delivers me. He recues me and protects me. So I am not alone.



Do not feel condemned but confess onto the Lord. Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life. Not some of the days. Not just holidays. Every day. It says it right there in His Word... in the NIV, ESV, NASB, NLT, KJV... you name it is there. Each day of your life He is after you.Why do you keep running? Why don't you just stop and let Him catch you?



Better yet, turn around and run into his arms!
