[Discoveries] 11-10-08 New creation -- Galatians 6:16

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is 
a new creation. -- Galatians 6:16*/

The work of God is deep inside our hearts.

A new creation is what we are. Who does the creating? God does. What is 
the result? The result is you are uniquely you and I am uniquely me; and 
God, you and I can all celebrate that. While, yes, sin is sin, God does 
an amazing thing in this verse. He liberates us from cookie-cutter 
righteousness. Righteous you and righteous I look totally different, 
just like each of my four kids looks totally different. There's a family 
look, yeah, but that's where the similarity ends.

God is reckless compared to man. People try to get everybody to line up 
and wear the same "this-is-how-you-should-live" uniform. But God creates 
us each wildly different than the other, and celebrates it all.

This, by the way, is one reason we can all learn from each other. Each 
of us reflects something from the Master that isn't caught quite the 
same way by anybody else.

Be encouraged!

What happens when you partner with Dwight Clough Ministries? Victims of 
violent crimes and survivors of abuse are finding peace, wholeness, the 
power to forgive and the strength to set boundaries. Those ensnared by 
addictions are finding freedom. Marriages are being restored. Families 
are strengthened. Christian brothers and sisters in restricted lands who 
face persecution are finding strength and encouragement. Young believers 
are learning how to walk with the Lord, and people are coming into the 
faith for the first time. None of this happens as a result of one 
person's efforts, but rather this is God's work as He blesses the 
sacrifice of many people including yourself. We partner with you, with 
other ministries, and, most significantly, with the Lord. That's how the 
supernatural happens.
