Scripture John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, \u201cMost assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.\u201d <\/p>\n
Observation: When I was first born, I lived my life the way I thought I wanted to. My only concern was me and what I thought was good for me. I lived a life of depression and selfishness and suffered for it. I hated my life and tried to end it several times. The second time I was born through Christ everything changed. I had surrendered myself to His mercy and grace. God renewed my mind and helped me live a life that was worthy of being His child.<\/p>\n
Application: I wish I could say that I\u2019m living a perfect life honoring God, I know that\u2019s not true, but He helps me each day grow closer to that goal. I need to completely submit my will for His and listen and obey His commands for my life. I\u2019m now born of the spirit and need to ask guidance each day. <\/p>\n
Prayer Good morning, Lord. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to be born again. I couldn\u2019t believe my life could be so wonderful living for You. I need your help again today to stay on the path You have chosen for me. May I bring a smile to your face today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
