"Therefore if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things have come." 2 Corinthians 5:17
I have read this verse countless times. This is the first time that I noticed "look". It is as if God is saying, "Hey, wait a minute. Pay attention. Can you see that new things are coming. Don't just focus on the desire for old things to go away. Look at all of the new blessings in your life." Often times, those who accept Christ do so out of a desire to escape or run from something. We want to rid our lives of something. We also need to "look" at it a different way. What are ALL of the blessings we are adding by following Christ.
Lord, thank you for all You add to my life, as well as the things You have saved me from.
