How a mess get’s cleaned up.

This afternoon has drug along like a lame snail. I have spent 60% of my day making up for procrastination earlier this semester. It seemed as though I would never get through the mess I had made. This got me thing (lots of things do that nowadays).When I was younger (High School) I floundered about desperately trying to run from God and what he wanted to do in my life. Consequently bad choices and foolish opinions caused me to make a mess of my life. I was completely misguided spiritually. I bounced from one spiritual path to the next hoping to find something that I could truly identify with. Buddhism, Atheism, Agnosticism, and even Witchcraft; all of these failed to feed me. They failed to direct me to a life of meaning and real significance. I never found my true significance until I surrendered my life and destiny to Christ. But, what of the mess? What about my past? How could I fix what I did? The truth is the answer is simple, but scary. I couldn’t do anything about anything. The past is the past, and I can’t change it. The glorious thing in it all is Christ changed me. That is where the true power is revealed. I can’t erase what I was or the things I did. But, Jesus could make me a new creature. And he did. When we decide to stop running from who we are, and stop trying to change the things we have done. When we choose to accept the gift of salvation and forgiveness Christ has lain before us; that is when he can reveal his true power. Let Jesus do his thing. Let him remake you from the inside out.
