Be Reconciled

In our baptism, we are reconciled to God. We are claimed, adopted, and adored as a child of God. This moment is one of dying to the old ways of living and rising in resurrection to a new way of life. This dying is a letting go of all that stands in our way of imitating God’s love. This change is difficult though because our culture and society teach us that the purpose of life is not to let go but to obtain. When we can begin to distinguish between these two competing paths, then we can decide which we will follow.
