"Therefore we were buried with him by baptism and into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too may walk in a new way of life" -- Romans 6:4 / Holman Christian Standard Bible
God's Word is clear: When we genuinely invite Him to reign over our hearts, and when we accept His transforming love, we are forever changed. When we welcome Christ into our hearts, an old life ends and a new way of living, along with a completely new way of viewing the world, begins.
Each morning offers a fresh opportunity to invite Christ, yet once again, to rule over our hearts and our days. Each morning presents yet another opportunity to take up His cross and follow in His footsteps. Today, let us rejoice in the new life that is ours through Christ, and let us follow Him, step by step, on the path that He first walked.
