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...
