A chance to start again can be considered as the unveiling of life's gift and privilege. Truth is, it's not available and presented to everyone. Indeed, not everyone gets a chance to engage practical steps to rise from devastating experiences. However, do you seem presented with this gift; is there a chance to shed off the old self? If so, be thankful that there's a chance to say, "Behold all things are new!"
Beloved, do you know anything about this kind of freshness, this new beginning? This is God's way of showing goodness to the human race. Though not everyone gets a chance to start over after a devastating season, yet God presents everyone with a chance to be born anew. Meaning there are some situations where starting over is almost not possible. However, the door to salvation and redemption is always open no matter how dire the situation is. The door to a new way; God's way; His plan and His will for your life. That's where great women and men are truly birthed: on the altar.
To understand this newness in Christianity, you'd better grasp that to be new is to be created--something or someone created by God. This newness of life, unlike Nicodemus' thoughts, doesn't involve physical birth or intentions, but according to John 1:13, "Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." Likewise, Jesus says in John 3:6, "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit."
It's therefore clear that a chance to begin a new life is made available to all and it's not native to a human race. No, the new life isn't inherited and no one who decides to re-create themselves anew are in actual fact living the new life. Besides, the new isn't an upgrade or continuity of a better version of you. To have a new life is to be created afresh and unique; it's to have a life that never existed until such a moment.
Furthermore, remember that the new creation is a wondrous thing formed in the heart and mind of God and created by His power and for His glory. And even if you're already present with God, He can most definitely do a new thing in your life, exceedingly more than you can think or imagine. Indeed, only the Creator could accomplish such a feat in our lives.
So, allow God to continually transform you from the inside out to equip you with all that you need to ascend to your throne which He had already prepared for you even before you were formed in your mother's womb with help from this book--which was all possible only because of Him just as Jesus said it in Matthew 19:26, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
Today, Jesus says to you just as He did in John 11:43, "Come forth, Lazarus!" So, come forth! Rise up from that grave. Rise up from those ashes. Realign with your true divine self and go beyond. For the Victory is already yours through Christ Jesus!
