New Life time

Tuesday March 20th, 2 Corinthians 5: 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! Walking with Christ is walking in the light of possibility. A new creation means we will do our best to discover what God has in this life for us. Sometime we fall, all of us. We fall into that first of all temptation to be like god, take a big bite of the fruit and walk our own ways. After a while, most of us find the same thing Adam and Eve found, shame. There is what Bradshaw calls healthy shame that pushes us back to what we should be doing, and there is toxic shame that simply tells us that we are a bad person (Healing the Shame that Binds You). For the toxic shame, Christ offers forgiveness and a welcome to New life. For the healthy shame, forgiveness is already known as is the New life. Either way, it is cause for a celebration.
