Thinking about renewal...


Friend, we often say "ReNEWed Life Women's Event is a one day event, but renewal must happen over and over again." I'm not sure if you sense that need in your life, but I know I do mine which has me thinking about renewal today. 

Life can leave us worn out. Daily demands drain us. Broken relationships hurt us. Illness and death change our world. We need God, His grace and His provision. He can renew us. 

I pray the verses below bless you, remind you of Truth and become part of your prayers. May the quotes encourage you to join God in this great process!

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, 
the new has come." (2 Corinthians 5:17)

"Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me." (Psalm 51:10)

"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, 
that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." (Romans 12:2)

"But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint." (Isaiah 40:31)

 "Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, 
yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day." (2 Corinthians 4:16)

"The God who made us can also remake us." Woodrow Kroll


"Renewing the mind is a little like refinishing furniture. It is a two-stage process. It involves taking off the old and replacing it with the new. The old is the lies you have learned to tell or were taught by those around you; it is the attitudes and ideas that have become a part of your thinking but do not reflect reality. The new is the truth. To renew your mind is to involve yourself in the process of allowing God to bring to the surface the lies you have mistakenly accepted and replace them with truth. To the degree that you do this, your behavior will be transformed." Charles Stanley
