Colossians 3:10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.

We all expect life to deliver us a certain degree of happiness but sometimes a lot of what we actually get is damaged goods. Those packages of rejection, anger, unforgiveness and fear arrive at the most unexpected times in broken pieces. 

For instance:

Rejection from a loved one such as a spouse or parent.

Anger at the person or company that swindled you out of your life savings.

Unforgiveness toward someone that murdered your family member.

Fear of losing your job, rendering you unable to pay the rent and thus becoming homeless.

The great news is that we have a letter directly from God. (Similar to the one you would receive if you had a damaged package from Amazon or Ebay) It's the Bible.

He tells us in His letter we can package up all those damaged emotions and send them to Him. Even though he's not the original sender, He is your Creator and he will heal you and make you a brand new whole package again for His glory!

Pray this to your Creator:

Rejection-God please help me to know that only what you say about my character and my future is truth, not what others say or do to me.

Fear-God please help me to trust that you are more wise, more loving and more powerful than any problem I will ever face.

Anger-God please give me the patience and wisdom to handle what is really going on within me and not lash out at others.

Unforgiveness-God please help me cast aside my anger and resentment so I can be healed and eventually pray for those who harmed me.

2 Corinthians 5:17-20 NIV

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.

Till next time, "Take it Light"
