A New Day For A New Me

   I read some time ago about a Golden Budda that was hidden for a 1000 years  in  rough concrete. Then the concrete shell cracked and the inner splendor was discovered. I'm thinking there is a treasure within me to be discovered. But how can I release God's power?  Somehow I must crack the crust that keeps God's power locked up. All my rejections, my failures, my hurts, my loss, my fears tend to accumulate like incrustations around my inner spirit. I must crack the crust of these negatives and obey Colossians 2:6  " As therefore you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so live in him and be established in the faith." The kingdom of God is in you. . . but how do I do that?

    Today, Lord, chip away my fears and fill me with belief, strip away my hurts and sooth me deep within.
{Colossians 3:12-17} If I "cloth myself, as God's own  picked representative, . . . his chosen one ...  and I am purified and holy and well loved by God himself".  . . I have the courage to become the compassionate, kind, humble, gentle,  patient, merciful person God meant me to be. Then I can be the loving  and have the harmony I seek. Perhaps I have found a beginning to finding a new key each day of my pilgrimage being "A  New Day For a New Me."   .............  To be continued.......
