What a wonderful day yesterday was! Our daughter, Becky, gave birth to a sweet, little girl, Kylee Rose. I am always fascinated by newborns. Everything about them is miniature - tiny eyes, ears, mouth, arms and legs, fingers and toes, fingernails and toenails! How precious it is to hold them in your arms for the very first time. It reminds me again of the creative powers of our God. O God, how majestic are Your ways - how wonderful are Your awesome abilities and plans!
What is also very special to witness is a spiritual birth, when an individual comes to faith in Christ. Whether they are 8 or 88 it doesn't matter. The newness, the excitement, the beginning of a transformed life is always wonderful to behold. In 2 Corinthians 5:17, Paul writes, "If anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation. The old has passed away; behold the new has come." How great it is to see a person pass from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of light, from the domain of Satan to the kingdom of the Son. I never tire of it and hope that I never will. It is one of the truly great moments of life - something that will have an impact for all eternity.
Father, thank you for new life, both physical and spiritual. Both are a reflection of Your character. Help us to do our best to appreciate this life and to direct it to You and Your ways. In Jesus' name, Amen.
