Something Beautiful

Something Beautiful

"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh."
Ezekiel 36:26

There was a wonderful song written by Bill and Gloria Gaither called "God Made Something Beautiful Of My Life". Some of the words are, "Something beautiful, something good; All my confusion He understood. All I had to offer Him Was brokenness and strife, But He made something beautiful of my life." These are good words, and describes so well what our life is like before we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. We are without hope and have absolutely nothing to offer God except our brokenness and despair, however God can transform us through his amazing grace, and forgive us of all our sins, and can make something beautiful of our lives. There is nothing that you have done in your past that God is not willing to forgive, as His grace is sufficient to forget all your sins, and let you begin anew. God's transforming grace is available to all who will receive it. God has not given up on you, even if you have given up, or others have. All you have to do is ask God to give you this grace. You don't have to wait for it, as you can receive it any time you ask for it. But you have to make the first step and ask Him for it, and then be willing to let Him take control of your life. You don't have to remain in the broken condition you are in today, but simply asking God to be your Lord and Savior, can restore you and put a new spirit in you. Jesus is ready to receive you and help you become the person He sees you to be--radically transformed and fully committed for His glory. When you take this first step and ask Jesus into your heart, He can make something beautiful of your life.
