All Things New

I'm a mess. I cry a lot, for no good reason. I put too much value in the opinion and approval of others. My gut reaction is more often discouragement and fear than joy and hope. All that to say, I don't have it all together and I don't have all the answers. But there's beauty in the mess and brokenness, because it shows how in need I am of God's grace, and it reminds me that the Lord is at work changing and growing me.

But the beauty of it is, I am not alone. Together as believers we are being remade whole, the image of God being renewed in us. I've learned over the years that we need the love, support, and accountability of the Body—it's in relationship and community that we all grow. This family of believers is an integral part of God's plan to create a people who glorify Him and make His name known.
