## Encouragement
You are not who you used to be. In Christ, the old has passed away and the new has come. This is not a process you complete — it is a reality you step into. Today, do not strive to become something you are not. Grow into what you already are. A new creation. A child of God. An ambassador of His grace. Behold, the new creation is you.
