Born again

             You must be born again from above.
                              
—John 3.7

I am not self-made.
      I am your creation, God.

I am not the product of my accomplishments.
      My life flows from your Spirit.

I am not the way I have always been.
      I am being changed.

My failures and mistakes don’t cling to me.
      I am forgiven. I can begin anew.

I’m not all-wise. I don’t have seniority.
      I am a beginner.

I don’t need to accomplish any more
than a newborn infant.
      I delight you simply by being.

I am not afraid of threat or danger.
      You are giving me life in this moment,
      and this moment, and this,
      born again… and again… and again…
