Renewing

"You've been dressed with the new life," Colossians 3:10.

The new life? Yes. With a new self. What new self? A new self that God keeps renewing. He created the new self, and he renews the new self. Brand new. Freshly minted. What process does God use for this? Us being impressed with his image in our lives. Impressed with compassion. Kindness. Humility. Meekness. Patience. Tolerance. Forgiveness. Impressed by no human culture nor nationality nor religion nor status. Instead, new life. Impressed by Christ. Christ is all. Christ in all.

As we visit with a brother or sister today, we see the image of Christ renewing in each other. And, together, we give thanks for our new life that taps into the nature of God.
