A Hard Thing To Do

2 Corinthians 5:17 says, "Therefore if anyone is born again, the old has gone, the new has come!"    "the old life is gone, a new life has begun!"

So why is it that we so often  "walk" out the faith by always looking over our shoulder as if someone or something may be chasing us?

IF that happens to be your experience, even a little, there is work to be done.  First and foremost we must realize that the Word is the truth.  Period.   Our feelings must be aligned with the Lord.  

While it is true that we may need to "tend" to some things in our past when we come to the Lord ~ we must realize that they do not have power over us anymore....I realize this is often easier said than done.  It is a process and the more we practice the stronger we become.

An orphan, once adopted, pinches himself to see if his new identity is truly real!  But the longer you "sit at the table" and get to know the Father, the more you will be satisfied with this truth.   
"You are not your own any longer you have been bought with a price." 
1 Cor 6:20

OH HOW HE LOVE YOU!!!

You are not running alone.  Look around there are brothers and sisters everywhere running the race.   Keep focused and don't turn back!

Heb 12:1
Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.


Blessings!
