A Blessing to be Made New

I bless you to be new,

Child of God,

New, in Christ, new!

“If anyone is in Christ,

He is a new creation.

The old has passed away;

Behold the new has come.” (2 Cor. 5:17)

May you let go of

The old—

The moldy,

The useless,

The binding.

And embrace

The new—

The fresh,

The empowering,

The freeing.

May you let go of

Hell’s condemnation

And take hold of

God’s grace.

May you let go

Sin’s old habits

And immerse in

Love’s way.

He says you’re new,

Beloved,

So be new…

Be brand new.
