Who would buy a safe, fill it with their treasures and documents and leave it unlocked? It happened because of memory lapse of where they put the key. Much later the key was found inside the safe, right on the top of the documents!
Like this lost safe key, the key to a new day for a new me is inside me..... right now! I can CHOOSE to take the key and unlock my God-given possibilities. "I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me -- I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses inner strength into me {that is, I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency." Philippians 4:13 (Amplified Bible) So.... I must choose!
As I contend for the faith, I will face troubles, pressures, and trials. Can I really do everything? The power I receive in union with Christ is sufficient to do His will and to face the challenges that arise from my commitment to doing it....... not to accomplish anything I imagine without regard to His interest.
"Dwell in me and I will dwell in you --- live in me and I will live in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding in (virtually united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in me. I am the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in me. I am the vine, you are the branches, whoever lives in me and I in him bears much abundant fruit. However, apart from Me (Cut off from vital union with me) you can do nothing." (Jesus, in John15: 4-5)
So .... once again, the key to a new me is inside me .... so once again I must choose. I will commit and unlock the power to open more of my God-given possibilities. I will also continue on in my pilgrimage to find how I can find "New Days For a New Me." I hope you'll join me.
