Celebrate

I am renewed in body and soul.

Whether or not today is my birthday, it can be my rebirth day. This is true because 98 per cent of the atoms of my body are replaced yearly. I am a new person from the one I was last year. I may celebrate the renewing of my body by saying, "Happy Birthday!"

There is also a renewing of my soul that is constantly taking place. Just as my body is growing stronger, so, too, is my faith. I am being renewed in body and soul.

As I express the Christ Spirit within, I become a new person. Christ in me is wisdom, life, and love. This can be my birthday or my rebirth day. Either way, I name and claim the joy that is mine.

"So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!"--2 Corinthians 5:17
