Clothe Yourself With The New Self

"You have been taught to put away your former way of life, your old self, corrupt and deluded by lusts, and to be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and to clothe yourself with the new self, created according to the likeness of Me in true righteousness and holiness." Ephesians 4:22-24

"Be strong in Me and in the strength of My power. Put on My whole armor, so that you may be able to stand against the forces of evil."
Ephesians 6:10-18

Holy Jesus, Your image has been imprinted on my nature by creation. Let me express Your image in every way in my life, conforming my will and my love to Your holy precepts, submitting my understanding to Your lessons of perfection; imitating Your sweetness and excellence in this world, imitating Your devotion to prayer, Your conformity to the Father, Your zeal tempered with meekness, Your patience heightened with charity.

Lord, may my mind, heart, body and soul continue to grow and abound in Your love until I come to the full measure of the stature of Christ, even to be a perfect man in Christ Jesus.

Jesus, how may I glorify You today?

Jesus said, "Be strong and faithful in Me. Be bold and loving in My Name. Take My truth to those enslaved to sin. Enlighten your brothers and sisters of the treasure within. Offer everyone My love and freedom." Amen
