So many of us worry that we are going to defined by our past mistakes forever which impacts how we see ourselves. Paul calls us to be reconciled to Christ, which leads us to see differently. Instead of looking at what we’ve done, we look at what God has done: He has made us new creations. This new way of seeing begins with how we view ourselves, then extends to how we view others. Our prayer becomes, “God, help me see me and others the way You do.” When this truth transforms us, we then can share the message of reconciliation with the world.
