I Wanna Be the New Me

Daily writing prompt
If you could be a character from a book or film, who would you be? Why?

I don’t want to be a character from a book or film. I want to be the new me.

I’m not who I used to be. My old desires, feelings, and thoughts no longer define or dominate who I am. They’ve been pushed aside by a mighty inner flow of new desires, new feelings, and new thoughts that gush from my innermost being. I’m being changed day-by-day and from glory to glory to be like Jesus who came to live inside me and surround me with His presence. Being caught up in Christ is so wonderful, I never want to leave or be distracted from His majesty.

No matter where I go, there Jesus is making Himself known to me. I’m continually in awe of Him. My greatest desire now is to not hinder the rivers of living water that the risen Jesus releases within me and to allow His inner current to carry me wherever He desires. Moment-by-moment I seek to let go of my will and be swept along in Christ’s river.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
