Born Again

I was born into a fallen, self-centered existence through my earthly father and his lineage going all the way back to Adam. But I was not created to live for self. I was created to look like my heavenly Father – to shine who He is in a broken world. When I begin to see what I was really created for – when I begin to realize what Jesus did to make a way for me to be restored – it opens up a door for me to change the way I think (repent) – to stop living just to please myself and to start following Jesus –  to receive a brand new kind of life from God – to be re-fathered into a new life of knowing my heavenly Father – a life of intimate relationship with Him.
