Missed Gratitude for New Creations

A name and face kept interrupting my thoughts. It was my difficult, arrogant boss from a short-term job decades ago. Moving on, I’d put those unhappy months out of my mind. A quick internet search led me to my former boss’s obituary. It told of his deep love for God and his years of humble service to his church and community.

2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV)
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.

Thanks be to God, he was a not the man I knew … he was a new creation. 

 

Good morning, Lord. There are people in my life for whom I give no thought or prayer. Thankfully, You are at work in their hearts, without my help. I focus on myself, on my friends and family, on people in my inner circle. You focus on everyone. Thank You for Your transforming power at work in me, in those I know and love, in folks I have long forgotten, in multitudes I do not know.
