Are you in need of resurrection? Are you suffering? Do you feel as though you are an empty shell that needs to be raised from the dead? So many of us believers are dried up. So many of us are "too far gone", or just plain lost. We are nothing without the Lord, our God and King. We can not survive this world without Him first in our lives. Our only hope is in Him. You may feel as though you have lost your passion. You may be wondering what led you to this place. Well, there are many things. The first is this world. Our lives are so busy, we get so caught up in the day to day routine. If we are not staying in the word of God, we slowly put Him on the back burner. Day to day, your passion becomes less and less. As it becomes less and less, you find yourself conforming more and more to this world. You might notice that you are allowing yourself to watch certain shows that you might not have watched before, T.V. shows that have content that you wouldn't dare watch while your children are around. Suddenly you are listening to music you didn't listen to before. And slowly you are letting more and more of this world into your being, into your daily routine. You find yourself using words you don't normally use. People it's all a part of getting you away from the one who once filled your heart with passion for the truth. These things are not born of truth, they are born of lies and schemes with your name attached. You are NOT beyond redemption.
Who is the one that calms the raging seas? Who is the one that walked on water? Who is the one that places YOUR name on his heart and forgives the sins of your past? He is mighty. He is holy. He is deserving of our sacrifice of praise. You may see a broken image when you look in the mirror, but the Lord, He sees you made whole. He sees the resurrected you. He sees life. He brings life. He sees what you ARE and not what you WERE. There is a big difference in that once you have the Lord as your Savior. The old you is washed away and the new you is brought to the surface, where the rough edges are sanded down and washed away with the old. You can't fake it anymore. This is the new and resurrected you.
He will turn your winter into Spring. He will turn your sadness to joy. He will replace that emptiness that you feel. He will replace your desire for the things of this world, once you turn it over to Him. He will replace it with that passion you once had. He will replace it with a NEW passion for more of Him. He will reveal His mercy and grace. Oh release it to Him. He is so faithful. He will rescue you and make you whole once again.
