"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
Have you ever stop for a moment and look at a beautiful butterfly? Remember when you learned at school about them?
Every time I read this verse a butterfly comes to my mind. We, humans, are just like them, we are ugly worms, but God knows that we will turn into beautiful butterflies. The ugliest the worm, the more beautiful butterfly we get.
How many times have you felt worthless, a sinner, someone that does not deserve anything?
Don't let Satan lie to you, don't allow him to plant in your heart you are not good enough to approach God... Don't you know that God sees the worm, knows is a worm, but He also sees the beautiful butterfly it will turn into?
We will sin so many times in our lives, but God does not stop loving us because of it. He knows the beauty inside of us, and knows that at some point the butterfly inside of us will come out.
He send his son to die for us, so that anyone that believes in Him and professes Him God and Savior will be saved and have eternal life.
Because of Jesus we are worthy, we are beautiful, we are white as snow in the eyes of our God. We will fall in sin many times, but our Jesus died for our past, present and future sins. We just need to stretch our hands to Christ ask for forgiveness and take His loving hand and get up and keep walking. He knows who you are, He knows already all the times you are gonna fall, and knows all the times you will return to Him repented and stretching your hands up to Him to be lift up. He loves us no matter what, He loves us so much that He left his throne in heaven to come to this world, live a humbled life and die for us.
Thanks God for looking at the butterfly in me, thanks for your mercy and your love, I do not deserve your love, but you give it to me anyways because of your grace.
Let's this 2012 accept Jesus Christ gift of forgiveness, let's accept his grace. Let's look forward for the work He is to do in our lives, let's look forward to see what He sees on us...a beautiful butterfly.
Have a wonderful 2012!!!
