You Have The Potential To Do Beautiful Things… Yes You…! #lookingforward

you have the potential

If you feel tempted to look back…

To analyze  or recreate old scenarios in your mind, how I pray you would catch yourself and live in the moments of today…

The amazing grace and beauty of God’s love for me, and you is that the past is gone.

Period.

Every day… Every new minute…

The past is gone.

“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come.  The old has gone, the new here!”

2 Corinthians 5:17

God even made sure there was an exclamation  point so we would see the amazing joy in what He was saying!

“the old is gone, the new has come!!!!!!!!”

That is His grace being poured out over our hearts and minds…

It was His great joy to draw your hurting heart into His courts of forgiveness and healing…

“For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight. In love.”

Ephesians 1:4

We, as Christ followers, were set free from that road of condemnation, destruction, and  despair when we cried out to God and asked Him to come into our hearts… at that very moment, our lives were made new…

The past was taken away and His plans for us were set in motion…

We were, and are cleansed, forgiven and redeemed for God’s sweet and amazing purpose for our lives in Him..

“Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but my ears you have pierced,

burnt offering and sin offerings you did not require.

Then I said, 

“Here I am,  have come … It is written about me in the scroll.

I delight  to do Your will, O my God, Your law is within my heart..”

Psalm 40: 6-8

He wants to use your life to make beautiful things…

To let go of what was and live in what is, is a sacrifice …

We are laying down our lives and saying …

It’s not about me anymore, God,

It’s all about You…

Use my life…

And that is exactly what Jesus did when He died on the cross for our sins…

He layed down His life as an example for us…

“When the Holy Spirit comes into our lives, our greatest desire is to lay down our lives for Jesus… that is the ultimate expression of love.”

Oswald Chambers

Dear Heavenly Father,

I lay down my life for You…

Please use my days to shine of  Your  freedom and beauty..

Your grace has set me free from all that was…

Your love has captured my heart…

Don’t let me waste anymore time looking back at the rubble, and  trash you have burned and destroyed…

I will look forward…  to the beauty of Your tender mercies and amazing grace…

“For by grace you have been saved through faith:  And this is not through your own doing, it is a gift from God.”

Ephesians 2:8

How amazing is Your love that You chose me…

‘Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise, and He chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful..”

1 Corinthians 1:27

How awesome is that?!

I trust You Father,

I chose You back… Everyday… Every hour…

Use my todays to make beautiful things…

How I love and adore You…

In Jesus Name,

Amen

No more looking back :)
