Day 4: Fingerprinted Forever

We got the call...

someone thought it would be fun

to use our credit card.

They got to use it,

but now they can't

because

we got the call.

Someone was watching

Someone knew that the purchase in a foreign country

was out of the ordinary

so

we got the call

and are no longer free to use that credit card.

But the replacement was in the mail.

It looks exactly like the old card.

It has my name on it

but something has changed~

the number

the expiration date

and even

the little three digit security number

all new.

Out with the old

In with the new~

just because

someone was pretending to

be someone that they weren't

Identity Theft~

but

Someone was watching

Someone was protecting us

Someone cared enough to make the call.

Someone is watching

You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do. Psalm 139:2-3

Someone is protecting me

Someone knows

Someone sees

me & you

You go before me and follow me.

You place your hand of blessing on my head.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,

too great for me to understand! Psalm 139:5-6

Secure in our Father's Arms

Secure

Free to live above

the worry that someone will steal my identity

because

Someone is watching

Because

Someone

changed me~

not my name

but everything else.

Out with the old

In with new

To be

Someone who He made me to be~

no longer having to pretend

to be someone I am not.

I have the same fingerprints

but

a new heart

Out with the old

In with the new

Free to Be

Me

Free to Be

You

that

He created us to be

Free in Him Therefore

if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature;

the old things passed away;

behold, new things have come. 2 Corinthians 5:17

Out with the old

In with the new

So what happens when I try to use my old card?

It gets declined

It is dead.

So what happens when I try to do the same old things that I used to do?

They just don't work anymore.

They are dead.

So why try to do something that doesn't work anymore?

What do you keep doing, expecting different results,

yet always lead you to a dead end?

Living Free

in

our

New Identity~

Because

if the Son sets you free

you will be free indeed. John 8:36

Free

to live

the abundant life that Jesus came to give

" I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." John 10:10

So let's

put on the new self,

created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. Ephesians 4:24

And

put on the new self,

which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. Colossians 3:10

Putting on~

Keeping yourself protected from

Identity Theft

because

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; John 10:10

To try to steal

the life

that Jesus has come to give.

Out with the old

In with the new

Because

If the Son has set you free

you will be

Free indeed. John 8:36

Free to be You

Free to be Me...
