Sometimes I believe the lie that I haven’t made much progress in my life.
Sometimes I beat myself up for screwing up and not doing better.
Sometimes I wish I were further along in my health and faith journey.
Sometimes… I just need to get over myself and knock it off.
My mom had some film developed, and here are some of the results. This was my 21st birthday party.
I didn’t know the Lord.
I weighed over 300 lbs.
I was in a same-sex relationship.
I was bitter and full of unforgiveness.
I was desperate to feel loved.
I. Was. So. Broken.
But God…
We’re going to fall. We’re going to fail. We’re going to hurt others. We’re going to get hurt by others. We’re going to go through dry seasons. We’ll go through seasons of abundance. We’ll cry tears of sadness and happiness. We’ll mess up again and need more grace.
But one really screwed-up day with God is better than one without Him.
God will restore what the locusts have eaten. – Joel 2:23.
Where do you need to look back today to realize how far God has brought you?
