Newness

I am thankful for the ability to be made new.  I know, it sounds like simply a spiritual thing.  And, it is that too.  But, I found that I was becoming a woman that I didn't admire.  That I had allowed myself to be influenced and shaped by things that I shouldn't have.  I found that I didn't admire the woman that I was allowing to grow....so, I had to make new decisions.  I had to look at who I used to be.  Look at who I want to be.  See who I was created to be.  Because, I was not made to be a facade.  I was not made to make everyone happy.  I was made to bring glory to the Father.  But, the only way that can be done is to be the woman He created.  The one He loves without reserve.  It's easy to get sidetracked.  It's so tempting to think that making others comfortable and happy is always the way to go.  But, in this newness, I am learning that He has an ability to make things right and good for ALL of us at the same time.  And that doing and being who I am supposed to be is the way that I bring Him glory.  The way that I ultimately praise and thank Him for my life.
I am walking in newness.  Not just inside....all of me.  Each and every day.  Made for a purpose.  Created with care.  Not to be taken forgranted.  To be nurtured.  Treasured.  If I don't....nobody else will either.  I am learning.  It's all kinds of newness.
blessings.
