I stand in awe..
This broken.. shattered soul was a disaster..
A train-wreck of abused emotion..
I was convinced I was a mistake..
I was worthless and deserved to be hurt and betrayed..
I allowed my emptiness to lead me to dark places..
So dark I was a part of it.. The depth of it..
I begged God daily to take me..
But where He took me is not where I ever dreamt of..
He took that black hole and filled it with sunshine..
He took the clouds and showed me different ways to look at them.. He taught me I was not who I always felt I was..
I was His.. I was a promise.. I was so much love there was not enough understanding to grasp it..
That nothing happens in a day..
But He indeed makes all things new..
The more I gave to Him..
The more He showed me..
Life is NOT about the superficial things that in the end will have NO meaning.. It’s about giving..forgiving.. loving..
It’s about shining so brightly other people cannot help but experience that beautiful glorious gift of true living through Faith and Jesus..
He wants to give us ALL things according to His riches..
He wants to lead us to places higher than the sky..
Thank you Father! Thank you..

2 Corinthians 3:18(KJV)
18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
