Have you ever felt like you are in a wrong age or even time? I have been thinking about how my life before I have found Christ. You see I have known of Christ because as a child I was a member of Church of The Valley. Going there since I was a child was a wonderful experience. I had an amazing Sunday school teacher. Their hearts had God in the Center of It All. So, for all the Sunday so teachers thank you.
As an adult, I was invited to a small group. To be honest, on my way there, I actually had turned my car around to go back home. It was hot and I was driving for a while and I was very uncomfortable in the traffic and the heat was exhausting. As I was on my way back home God asked me to turn the car around. My cousin had already called and asked to head back and I refused. Then just like that God told me to turn the car around and I was able to turn the car around with no problem.
The more I got involved with my small group, the more God started working in me. I was not fully committed to turn myself over to Christ because I felt I was not good enough to be loved by him. I have failed in a lot of areas in my life, but God kept showing up. He had shown me that I had to work on relationships in all areas of my life. God had forced me to view my life in a different way, the way he sees me. With that, the road I had to walk was not easy, but he reassured me that he would break me in a million pieces. This meant that I had to face the darkest moments from my past.
I have learned that I must keep God in the center of my life. I had to surrender my life completely for his glory. I am not perfect, but God has created someone I love, and I am embracing the changes he has done in me. Fear is not of God. God fills you with confidence to do his will. I had to surrender everything so that he can work in me. I am a work in progress.
“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” [Ephesians 2:10 NIV]
