Team Talk
The Bay Talks….
By Ash
It’s a new day! How I love those words. Every morning they are my first thoughts. No
matter what the day may bring or what yesterday delivered to my doorstep, I know the
truth. Yesterday is gone, today is a gift. The events of the day are not formed yet so all
things are possible when God is in the center.
As I get up, ready to face the day, three words echo in my mind and I confess them.
“I am persuaded.”
I dwell on that thought for a few seconds and I affirm again. Ï am persuaded. I am
persuaded that nothing can separate me from the love of God that is revealed in Jesus
Christ, my Lord.
I am persuaded that if God is for me, who can be against me? I am persuaded that no
weapon formed against me shall prosper. I am persuaded that I can do all things
through Him that strengthens me. I am persuaded that no matter what may come
against me, God is with me and He will fight my battles for me, I only need to stand
still.
I am persuaded that I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I am persuaded that in
Christ, I am a new creation. The old has passed, the new has come.
I am persuaded that I am forgiven. I am persuaded that in Jesus Christ there is no
condemnation.
I am persuaded of all the things that Jesus Christ stood for and gave His life for.
How we start our day is our own personal choice. I have learned that in every new day
lies a great opportunity for us to turn our lives around. To do better and greater than
before.
It’s a new day. Choose to embrace the gift of a new day.
