“When my way seems too hard, Lord, it really isn’t. You are with me. When my load feels too heavy, it’s not. You carry it. When my heart feels like it’s breaking into pieces, it isn’t. You are molding me. When I feel overwhelmed by the pressures of life, I’m really not. I’m at rest in you. You keep me in perfect peace when I trust in you, when all of my thoughts are fixed upon you. Letting go of who I have always believed myself to be, I reach for who you have created me to be. Starved for lasting joy and peace, I’m now ready to reach for the life and purpose you have chosen for me. Moving to the edge of what I have never had the courage to allow, I launch into the depths of what has been my uncertainty. One breath and one moment at a time, you form me, you fire me, and you fill me.”

Excerpt from Form Me, Fire Me, Fill Me

Believe Something New!

Do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!
—Isaiah 43:18b–19a (NIV)

As human beings, we have a tendency to dwell on the past. And because of this tendency, we often miss the beauty of a new thing God creates. Is there anything in your past that you allow to hold you back from experiencing God’s blessing in your life? Why is it so hard to get rid of old feelings that keep you from experiencing the joy of a new moment? If you have asked Jesus Christ into your heart, you are new in Him. Old things are over. Your old is not meant to define your new. If you allow the old to control your heart, you can never see the new thing He brings into your life....
