Something new
+++++++++++++++++++
Today is a new, unique, original day. So find something new, unique and original to do with it.
Your are knowledgeable, talented, and creative. You live in a universe where new possibilities are continually multiplying.
What new creation can you bring to life today? In what new and original way can you express the blessed uniqueness of who you are?
Go beyond merely moving though the motions and the moments.
Put some real creative life into your thoughts and actions.
Consider how very flexible and adaptable and open you have the ability to be. There are truly amazing things that you’ve already done with all that ability, and even more great things you are now able to do.
This moment is your opportunity to make more than just a rerun of the past. Give of yourself something new to life, every chance you get.

Matthew 15:1-14
“Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying, “Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.” And He answered and said to them, “And why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?”
“For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’ and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.’ But you say, ‘Whoever shall say to his father or mother, “Anything of mine you might have been helped by has been given to God, he is not to honor his father or his mother.’ And thus you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition. You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying, ‘This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far away from me. ‘But in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.’”
“And after He called the multitude to Him, He said to them, “Hear, and understand. Not what enters into the mouth defiles the man, but what proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man. Then the disciples came and said to Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this statement?”
“But He answered and said, “Every plant which My heavenly Father did not plant shall be rooted up. Let them alone; they are blind guides of the blind. And if a blind man guides a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (NAS)
Romans 5:8-10
“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
“Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.”
“For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.” Romans 5:8-10 (NAS)
