Old things are past away, ALL things are new . Testimonial
Posted: Wed May 04, 2011 2:51 pm 17. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
I am but a garden in the springtime, the winter was harsh to me, the shallow sun kept darkness close in the form of worry and insecurity. The cold slapped my face and buried itself deeply into my bones with heartache and memories of what was and what could have been. My winter was 2 years long. Ah, but now, it is springtime, and I find so much life andlight in the verse: Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Now, Humans have ravaged my mind, heart and soul like a Disc and Tiller beats, turns and digs mercilessly into the soil. But GOD IS GREAT !!! And He has been my strength. Seeds of doubt were planted into my heart, but GOD'S LOVE destroyed them and let them NOT flourish, He brought them drought and cold as my Faith in Him grew. Then, as it warmed, the coming-of-age of my Faith and my growing closer to Him, seeds of love, seeds of hope, seeds of a future were sewn in HIS name, with HIS blessing, because HE gave me the strength to wait, wait, WAIT upon Him, and to listen and hear Him.
As He called my name, it was a warmth that penetrated the harsh callouses the world had left, like late frosts on a troubled ground. He has kept my tears, oh SO many tears I have shed, and He extracted the pain, replacing it with Joy and Hope, Love and Light, and He has watered the seeds HE has sown. Now, today, the ground that was so disturbed, that was so battered, to the point of hardly any recognition, that was my heart, is soft, and breaks gently at the top, freeing the tiny seedlings that the LORD has put into my heart. Now, with His care, a new beginning, a new chance, a new life in HIM, for HIM, to share my testimony with other broken hearts and lost souls, to help them find their way to turn back onto HIS path and find HIM!
May tomorrow bring the beautiful green of new sprouts of the many ways I can touch others in His Name and for HIS Glory.
Thank you, OHHH Thank you Heavenly Father, for now I no longer read it, but You are allowing me to LIVE it.......... old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new !!!!!!
