Renovation

I am born anew of Spirit. Each day I am made new again, and I learn the lessons that are before me easily.

hildren learn rapidly. They are sponges of information absorption. They have not yet filled their heads with nonsense that prevents learning. Indeed, we sometimes fear they will learn the wrong things, which has led to the adage, “Little pitchers have big ears.” Our capacity to learn has not diminished from the day we were born.

Our minds are like Theseus’ ship. We constantly renew and replace our thoughts and beliefs, to create a more refined structure, pulling out the old, rotted planks to replace them with new, stronger thoughts and beliefs. We are old, yet made new, re-invigorated with new ideas and the movement of Spirit.

Let us be born anew. Let us renovate ourselves and our minds each day.

St. John 3:5-6, “Jesus answered, saying to him, Truly, truly, If a man is not born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. What is born of the flesh is flesh; and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.”
