Trusting God To Shape Your Story

Good morning Brothers, Happy Thursday! Praise God for the start of another day. God loves you. I love you. Take a moment to call or pray for a loved one, tomorrow is not promised. Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed, says the Lord, who has compassion on you.(‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭54‬:‭10‬). Let’s sing, Praise ye the Father for His loving kindness, Tenderly cares He for His erring children; Praise Him, ye angels, praise Him in the heavens; Praise ye Jehovah! Praise ye the Savior, great is His compassion, Graciously cares He for His chosen people; Young men and maidens, ye old men and children, Praise ye the Savior! Today’s verse is from ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭32‬. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Our souls bear the imprints of moments long past. Words spoken in anger, love offered and withdrawn, joys that made us sing, betrayals that hollowed us out, all of it is pressed into us. We may smooth our faces and build sturdy lives, but underneath, there are grooves and impressions time has not erased. Dare to notice the places you still carry the past. Rather than despising them, let them remind you of your tenderness, your capacity to be shaped, your willingness to keep living. Clay that refuses to be moved becomes like stone. Your softness is not your failure: it is your glory that can be used for God's glory. Imagine your life as soft clay: what thumbprints do you notice? Whisper to yourself: Even this, God remembers and can use it to create a masterpiece. Today is the perfect day to extend the same love, compassion, and forgiveness that you have already received. God loves you. Have a blessed day.
