Read 2 Corinthians 5:17-19 ESV

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 18 All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.

Jesus,

You change everything! In You, I have freedom that the world does not understand. Sin would have kept me from you, but Your love said, No! You free me from my sin and make me new, calling me to really live in that freedom. Thank You for Your forgiveness and grace that allows me to draw close to You. Continue to work in me and change me through Your example. Help me to live in the beauty of all that You have given me and to be a light that draws others to You to see and know Your wonderful love for themselves. Amen.
