Day 8b: New Birth

Copyright © 2016 by Michelle Lores

 

White lilies appear as I drive by

On a busy city street.

Little pink hearts on a baby girl’s dress—

Isn’t it sweet?

 

So many things to look at and smile.

I bet you won’t even have to go a mile—

 

To find God’s goodness

And a reason to give thanks.

He put His goodness everywhere—

So it’s time for us to join the Rejoicing Ranks.

 

For no matter what we see

Down here on earth—

God’s promises are ours as His children.

For in Jesus, we have been given new birth.

 

 

What is my cup of SonShine for today?

To remember—with the help of the Holy Spirit—that my joy comes from hoping in the gift that can never be taken from me—my relationship with Jesus.

God’s promises are forever, and all of them are yes in Jesus Christ!

What a reason to rejoice always!

 

“Father, thank You for reminding me of Your eternal promises that are mine forever in Jesus.

But thank You most of all for Jesus.

Thank You for making the Way through Him for me to come to You and to be born anew into Your family.

Thank You for making me Your child forever.

I love You, Lord.

Thank You so much for what You have done and for what You have made possible for me in Jesus.

I love You.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
