“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” 2 Corinthians 5:17
I want to be so changed by Jesus that I do not recognize my old ways. I want to look back on those hurts and sins and let them feel distant.
I want to look in the mirror and see God’s work of art. I want to feel proud of who He has called me to be. Honored and humbled to be loved, and always in awe.
From the moment that I’ve been blown away by God’s love for me, I’ve felt a restlessness for more. I used to be discouraged by this because I thought it just meant that I wasn’t who God wanted me to be.
Recently the Lord has been showing me how this restlessness within me exists because I am a new creation! I was made for so much more and that’s why I cannot be satisfied with little. So it would make sense that when I fall short of what God wants for me, I am unsatisfied. God gifts us with peace but also with hunger for more. That should never be an indication that we are not who are supposed to be. But if anything, an assurance that we are new. Our new hearts want to jump out of our chest because of the joy we have received!
I am proud of this new heart. I am honored to be forgiven and will unashamedly paint the walls of my soul with grace.
This is the message the Lord has given me for this upcoming season in my life: the World Race! SO I made these shirts to fundraise and would love to get one to you!
