Want to become new?

There are many people who want to become new. They go throu plastic surgery to get the "right" features, they spend thousands of dollars or pounds on apparel, make-up, jewelry and accessories. "Been there, done that" might be your reply.
I guess most people, and especially women, have tried some of this to renew themselves. And a good figure, nice clothes, and other things are fine. There's nothing wrong about that. It's when these things are the only way to improve yourself that it gets wrong.
The Bible has a quite different approach to becoming new, "Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new" (2 Cor 5:17).
All things are new! Wouldn't you like that? ALL THINGS! Not only your nose or your thighs or whatever you want to change, but ALL THINGS!
"Does my nose change when I become a Christian?" you might ask. No, of course not. But the way you see you nose, or any other thing about you, changes. Your nose is no longer the focus of your attention, Jesus has become the most important aspect of your life. That doesn't mean that Christians cannot go through plastic surgery, buy nice clothes and wear make-up. It simply means that these things are no longer the most important thing in your life. You can live without these things, you have become new inside. When Jesus gains more and more territory in your soul, your thinking changes and your priorities change.
You become more satisfied and focus more on the spiritual side of life than the physical.
Want to become new? Let Jesus change you, inside out! He's the great Transformer!
