I once was

I once was lost…..God rescued me.

I once was scared…God replaced my fear with confidence in him.

I once was intoxicated….God cleansed me and I became addicted to him.

I once was abandoned…God adopted me.

I once was violated…God purified me.

I once was divorced…God forgave me and I became his bride.

I once lost my self esteem…God gave me dignity.

I once was alone…God loved me.

I once lost a child…God comforted me.

I once was broken…God healed me.

I once was rejected…God accepted me.

I once was brokenhearted…now I am giddy over our King of Kings.

I once was hopeless…God gave me much hope and I am now a true optimist.

I once felt like a failure…God created me into his masterpiece.

I once was so many things that I used to be ashamed and embarrassed to share. God has replaced that with the confidence of being a child of God and to share with whoever he places in my life.

He first forgave me{us} so we can forgive ourselves and others.

He first loved us so we can love others.

He sets us free from our past so we can be transformed into his image.

He created divine appointments for his mighty plans.

I hope by sharing a glimpse into my life before Christ that you will know we are all sinners living in a fallen world.

Don’t be ashamed of  your past before Christ. Don’t be ashamed or embarrassed of your story.

God loves you unconditionally and eternally.

Have hope.

Live life to the fullest.

Love others and share your story.

You may just be an answered prayer to a stranger today.

Let god transform you into his masterpiece.

You are loved.

Enjoy every moment.

Love,
