So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away;
see, everything has become new!
(2 Corinthians 5:17
NRSV)
"The kingdom of heaven is like the master of a household who brings out of his treasure what is
new and what is old," Jesus told the disciples. The new always takes priority over the old. When
we return from the grocery store we put in the refrigerator anything that might spoil. We do this
as quickly as possible so the fresh food will stay fresh. We don't wait until the old food is gone.
We don't even wait until we have room in the refrigerator. Instead we move things around; we
even throw out the stuff which might not be good. The same is true with our faith. Each day
provides opportunities for growth. Each day presents opportunities for a new beginning.
Dear Jesus, may your spirit never grow old in my heart. Amen.
