The last few weeks I have been receiving a heart transplant.
My old heart started out full of sadness which turned into bitterness and morphed itself into a deep rooted fear and disbelief that God can make beauty from ashes.
I traded a life of peace, beauty, and redemption for a hopeless life of bitterness, resentment, and shackling chains.
Jesus has been chasing me. Chasing me with His spirit and the prayers of many.He began performing surgery without my knowledge or conscent.
I am so thankful that I serve a God that LOVES me despite my hardened unbelieving heart.
He LOVES me enough to take that heart and not just repair it but to make it new.
He LOVES me enough to pick up this sopping mess of a sinner and carry me to safety.
It has been and will be a long journey of making sure we cut out all the rotting parts of my heart, but I am hopeful now that He is the one restoring me instead of the world.
At the end of the day I hold a new truth...
NOTHING WILL BE UNREDEEMED

ReplyDeleteAnd, here is the promise for those whom Jesus has chased down and renewed (and indeed, without our consent), that, "being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ" - Phil. 1:6
ReplyDeleteTears from this post... I have days where I think the pieces of my heart will never be put back together. I get angry and wonder, why me? And then I remember that I have everything I need in God and He has my perfectly broken heart in his hands and will always protect it. I'm praying for you!
