Thankful for New Life

I am grateful for the best gift I've ever recieved: a New Life! In Christ, I have been made new. He saw my dead bones and breathed new life into my soul, forever changing me.

And even now, when being born anew has become commonplace and I've begun to take it for granted, He breathes new life again. His Holy Spirit comes and falls afresh upon me, igniting the flames of passion for Him.

His love is beyond my comprehension - I'm overwhelmed. His breath in me produces new joy and resurrects a longing for all to know this God who can make dead things alive.

He is the resurrector of dead hopes and dreams, of deadened emotions and dead relationships. He gently breathes newness into all He touches. He resurrects my desire for Him and my hope of spending eternity with Him.

Great thoughts here Heather. I am trying so hard this year to reflect on Christ and all that He is rather than getting into the hectic pace of this holiday season. I got my Christmas shopping done early and that has helped me in this quest tremendously.

Hey, I've missed you over at Lori's "Delighting in the Details." I'm sure you're busy delighting in Christmas details with your kids.

Have a great weekend.

Heather, I believe this is my most favorite "Thankful Thursday" posts ever. Not that I read a bunch of them, but I love the way it was more than just a list, but a beautiful expression of your heart.

Thanks for blessing me today.
