对今日诗句的想法
当我们成为基督徒的时候，就是新造的人了。然而我们大多数人，都会遭遇旧的生活方式抬头并且显露出来的时候。这就意味着成为新造的人，是我们一生中每天都必须作出的决定。只要我们决心那么去做并且寻求跟随我们救主的带领，圣灵的能力就会按照神的应许赐给我们(使徒保罗在以弗所书通篇讲述了这一点)，圣灵的目的是要使我们成熟，满有基督长成的身量(以弗所书4:12-16;哥林多后书3:18)。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
God makes us new when we become disciples of Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17). Most of us, however, have moments when the old way of life erupts, makes its presence known, and tries to drag us back into the old way of living. So, being new is a lifetime decision we must make each day, offering ourselves to God, putting off our old self, and inviting the Holy Spirit to renew us (Romans 12:1-2). Throughout Ephesians, Paul talks about the Holy Spirit's power working in us (Ephesians 1:17-20, 3:14-21, 5:15-21). As we commit daily to following the Lordship of Jesus, the Holy Spirit empowers and matures us to be more and more like him (Ephesians 4:12-16; 2 Corinthians 3:18). The newness of our life in Jesus never has to become old or stale!

My Prayer...
Almighty God and dear Heavenly Father, please bless me today as I seek to live as a new person — cleansed, made holy, and empowered by your Spirit. Give me a new and clean mind as I intentionally put aside my old habits and desires to pursue Jesus. In his name, and based on his authority, I pray. Amen.
