Along the way I’ve discovered that the mistakes I make can change the course of my life. Often my choices define who I become, but thankfully God is the Great Sculptor, taking the mess I’ve made of my life and shaping it into something new, something transformed by the His delicate touch, something truly beautiful.
I have a choice, I can either allow those mistakes to continue popping up in my life, a repeating pattern of self-destructive actions, or I can turn it over to God. I can allow my past to be a dark stain on my future, seeping from my soul and staining everything I come in contact with, or I can allow God to transform that stain into a masterpiece.
God can take His paintbrush and paint those trials and mistakes right into the painting of my life. I can then look back and see the beauty God made from a sinner like me. My mistakes can become beautiful reminders of God’s amazing grace, a place for me to start when speaking to others, a testimony to the saving power of the Almighty God.
So join me as I ask God to create a masterpiece from the mess of my life—a masterpiece that reflects His glory, allowing God to create a life that is a testament to His love and amazing grace. Join me on this joyful journey as I allow God to transform my tears into rejoicing.
Naked and Vulnerable (Thoughts from the Pot): God is creating a masterpiece of my life one day at a time.
