Happy is he whose resting-place is in the secret of the Lord, and under the shade of the wings of the Most High.

Corinthians 5:17

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"   2

 

Corinthians 5:17

 

At this time it is good to think about starting anew.  This is what happens to us when Jesus Christ comes into our lives — He makes us new people spiritually!  Jesus said we could be born again — we would start out fresh like new born babies when we ask Jesus into our lives to be our Savior.

 

You can ask God to give you a clean slate.  When you accept Christ as Savior, God forgives us our sins — He casts our sins from us as far as the east is from the west.

 

Unfortunately we still have our old natures to contend with — we are still tempted to lie, or to cheat, or to steal, or to be immoral.   But you can choose to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit — and you can overcome your old sinful nature.  You are a new creature in Jesus Christ!  "Walk in the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desires of the flesh."
