God is so gracious to us! When I found myself drowning in a pit of depression I never thought I would make it out. It was the worst time in my life. I had no one to turn to; no one reached out to me. It was just hopelessness and darkness. But God…
God was not only in the pit with me, but He lifted me up and out as a brand new “me”. He made me NEW!
It was a tough process, but like the caterpillar’s transformation process, it was necessary so that I could FLY. I am grateful for the entire experience, as it has made me a new person. I now have clarity about who I really am, my worth in God, and my purpose in life.
I no longer have to conform to the people or things around me to feel valued. I am free to be me and I will no longer seek the approval of “man”. I will be excellent in all that I do, but temporal praise is not my goal. I thrive now for a more eternal approval. I no longer worship the gifts, more than the Giver!
I am new again! I was broken in a million pieces and God put me back on the potter’s wheel and transformed my life. I am now a useful vessel for His purpose.
You know the joy that is expressed in the Bible; that unspeakable joy? That’s what I have with God. It is not conditioned to any circumstance or situation but it is there all the time. Even when the storms of life coming crashing down, it is there. Follow God, He will not lead you astray. He will replace your ashes for beauty and give you joy, unspeakable!
Embrace your life’s challenges and seek clarity in what God is trying to show you about yourself. It will renew your spirit. It will make you new again!
