There has been something I have been struggling with for awhile now. The bible says, whenever you have either accepted Christ for the first time, rededicate you life, or have been baptized, then you are reborn into Christ.
Well, first off how sweet it is to experience being reborn into Christ! A chance to start over. Don't you think it is an amazing feeling? Sometimes I think we all need to stop what we are doing and have some true one on one time with God and rededicate ourselves. Its always good to get that fuzzy feeling going again to wake us up from our daily schedule lives and get back on track. But something I struggle with, and maybe something we all struggle with, is that whenever we are reborn and made new I never become NEW! When I am at home or by myself I feel I can become this new person God wants me to be but for some reason once I get around my friends I go back to my old ways.
So at what point are we going to stop worrying about what others think and take up our cross and truly follow God? I have to remind myself just what Jesus tells us in Matthew 23:12 But those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.
