New Creation

Recently someone said what kind of impact can I have on someones life, because of where I have walked. I have been divorced, I have walked outside of God's covering for my life. I have done my own thing. I broke God's law by getting a divorce and more, what kind of impact can I have on peoples lives, what kind of testimony can I have. There is nothing that I have that other people want, I can't help others, no one can learn from me.

I have thought about that statement for sometime now, because all of it is true, up to the point that I can't help other people. See the real truth of the matter is, I have been places other people have walked. I am divorced and other people are divorced too. I have been through a lot of hard things and so have other people. My testimony is that Jesus does save, He does forgive and I am a new creation, because He washed my slate clean. I confessed my sins, I have been forgiven and today I walk in freedom because of Jesus. Yes, people may look at the past I lived, but they also need to look at who I am today, because of what Jesus has done in my life.

The enemy can tell us lies, that we are not worth it, because of our past, but Jesus says we are worth it, because He has made us new. My sins have been washed clean, my slate is white as snow, because Jesus is real and alive today in me.

Remember this, when people tell you that you are not a witness because of your past, remember your past is what makes you an even better witness, because you have walked through the same things that others have and are. Today you walk in freedom, because of Jesus Christ.

Look at Paul's life, he was Saul, he killed Christians, he was a bad man before Jesus got a hold of him. Jesus changed him and we learn from his writing today. So the next time someone says to you that you can't be a witness because of your past, remember Paul and so many others. God has a reason for everything and today I share my story, who knows who it will impact, but God. His ways are greater than my ways.
