The Before And After Picture of Your Story
What do you think of when you look at this picture?
I know what I am tempted to see:
I see an eyesore…
I see what’s left of someone’s dream…
I see a has been building…
I see a useless piece of rubble…
…But what if this were only the before picture?
What if the AFTER picture was a brand new remodeled, modern building utilizing the front wall of the old building?
Would that make a difference in your perception about this picture?
Sometimes we tend to look at the present and forget about the amazing power in a future.
Your current story may be awful. You may feel your dream is gone. You may wonder if anything good can come of your brokenness.
One thing is sure; you cannot change your story, but you can allow the power of God to work in you to bring about a better story.
Never underestimate the power of God’s intervention in your life. He uses broken, mixed up, hurting, fractured stories to mold and shape some of His greatest work.
Are you ready? Have you got one of those great stories of God’s power to change a life? I’d love to hear it.
