Day 2: Eternally Fruitful

I finally get it...again~

JESUS

came to make things new.

I finally get it...again~

It isn't me who can make things new.

I finally get it...again~

I can't turn water into wine.

I can't make the blind see.

I can't heal the brokenhearted.

I can't, yet I try.

I strive, because

as a

NEW CREATION IN HIM

I believe that I have to try

to be that

NEW CREATION

Who

Acts Perfect

Talks Perfect

&

Lives Perfect~

and you know what?

Besides being exhausting,

I can't

no matter how hard

I strive to be that

NEW CREATION

to produce the fruit of

Love,

Joy,

Peace,

Patience,

Kindness,

Goodness,

Faithfulness,

Gentleness

&

Self-control.

And guess what~

I fail every time

because I am not the one who can produce it.

Why was

THE BABY

born?

To be what I am not.

To live in me to produce what I can't.

I am a

NEW CREATION

IN HIM,

not in Joni.

You are a

NEW CREATION

IN HIM,

not in you.

HE is the perfect that covers all my imperfections.

HE is the perfect that covers all of your imperfections.

I feel free as I surrender

all of me,

so that

HE can fill me with all of

HIM.

There is a new girl in town~

and when you see something you like in me

know that it is

HIM~

The

HIM

who was Born

to live in me & to live in you

making us a

new creation

So try it~

let go and

Be still

and

Know

That God is God

and finally get it

and you will experience

all the gifts of

CHRISTMAS

that came

wrapped in a wee little

BABY

who came

to

cover all our imperfections,

so that

you can be you

&

I can be me

and

that is

PERFECT IN HIM!
