I am not the same!
Revelation 21:5
Looking back to where I was a year ago thanks to my journal, I can honestly say that I am not the same person now. God has made me a new person. Last year, I was ready to give up on relationships but God was faithful and changed my heart. He used special people in my life to help me process things clearly and encouraged me to love my family members. I could not have imagined then what the rewards of my obedience would bring. I now have a better relationship with the members of my extended family. The most awesome blessing came on August 10th last year. God blessed me with a beautiful and extra special niece. I so much want to be a part of her life as well as her mother’s.
With God’s help, I strive to communicate better members of my extended family. I recently made an amends where I needed to reconcile. God enabled me to love and care for my mom following her recent surgery even when I was not at my best. His grace truly is sufficient (Romans 12:9). Time and time again, God has shown me that He can supply all my need. Yet, I am the fickle one that can so easily forget that He is all that I need and thus fret or complain.
He can make anyone new who loves Him and desires to be made new. It is all a matter of the heart. Yeah God! He keeps His promises. He can change your heart too. All you need to do is ask Him.
Challenge: When has God shown you that His grace is sufficient?
There is none holy like the Lord:
for there is none besides you;
there is no rock like our God.
for there is none besides you;
there is no rock like our God.
1 Samuel 2:2 ESV
