Isaiah 43:19

I love the quote by Joyce Meyer which says, “I may not be where I want to be, but thank God I’m not where I used to be.” Everyone has a past. One containing some mistakes and a regret or two. But God doesn’t keep score. For when He looks at us, He sees us through the righteousness of Jesus. And the righteousness of Jesus washes away the sins of the past. It declares us innocent and beloved by God. And because He loves us, the Lord refuses to leave us as He found us. The minute we receive Jesus as our Savior, God sends the Holy Spirit to indwell us. Immediately He gets to work doing something new and unexpected, bringing about a transformation in the lives of each believer. And the more we surrender to His awesome love, the more God is committed to continually work in our lives. The Lord wants us trust Him enough to throw away the old and let Him bring out the new. To receive His blessing of change and transformation. And to lead us on a new and exciting journey of faith!

July 31st – 2 Peter 1:3

2 Peter 1:3

We’ve all heard the expression, “the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.” And that’s just what the Christian life is all about. Its not a single step, but rather a journey. One of moving forward and maturing in our walk with the Lord. A path of deepening our relationship with God and living a life that glorifies Him. Because from the beginning God never purposed our lives as Christians to be stagnant, stuck, and boring. Instead He wants them to joyful, peaceful, and in perpetual motion. So far from being our only step, receiving Jesus as our Savior is just the first step in a lifelong trek. A journey of molding and perfecting, with the goal of us becoming perfect reflections of Jesus. So how do we grow spiritually? Joyful Peter tells us the One who calls us, gives us with everything we need to grow more like Him. And equips us to lead the lives that God has called us to lead.
