A birth day is the manifestation of a new and unique Expression of FATHER on earth, and each of us is unique and special in HIS Eyes. FATHER deemed it important to place each of us on earth to live and carry out our specific calling here on earth. It is a time of celebration when life comes forth.
In 2 Corinthians chapter 5, Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT:
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,
19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.
21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
We must not allow this passage to become “stale” in our hearts and minds and grow cold concerning its revelation. We became a new creation when we receive Christ in our hearts, and many of us saw a dramatic change when we received The Holy Spirit into our lives. Each of us had a second birth day which is even more pronounced than the first.
FATHER has reconciled us, and we are also to be reconciled to HIM. The word reconcile means to return to favor; to bring into balance; cause to coexist in harmony; make or show to be compatible. As new creations, we are to reflect FATHER in our daily walk for that is what mature sons and daughters do. The more complete our reconciliation, the more mature we are. Am I in greater harmony with FATHER this year versus last year? Is there any notable difference in my spiritual maturity? Am I producing the fruit of THE SPIRIT to a greater degree than this time last year? Each of us should take time to assess progress in these areas.
THE SPIRIT implores us to become fully reconciled to FATHER. I see no greater barometer than walking in the revelation of Love. Isn’t that the ultimate test of being in complete harmony? If each one of my actions has the intent of Love behind it, can there be any incompatibility with FATHER’S Divine Intent?
Most families celebrate birthdays for they are reminders of how special those family members are. These days serve as a reminder of the bringing forth of life and the uniqueness of the individual. There are times when each of us needs to be reminded of our relevance to FATHER’S Divine Plan. Becoming the righteousness of GOD in Christ is a daily progression, and we should purpose to be in greater harmony with FATHER as we start our day. We need to keep this Truth before us at all times and not allow ourselves to become passive in our walk.
THE SPIRIT wrote through Paul in Colossians chapter 1:
21 And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind (expressed) by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled
22 in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight—
23 if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.
We are new creations so let us walk accordingly by being well grounded in Love and faith. Our daily Hearing, studying, and meditating on HIS Word solidifies our foundation so that we are well grounded. As we plant HIS pure Word in our hearts, we become the true expression of our new man for behold; we are a new creation.
