Who I used to be.

I feel it in my heart to tell you who I used to be. Since we’ve been speaking about transformation, justification, and sanctification in Jesus. I want to tell you what Jesus did to and for me! Honestly he really saved me. The things I’ve gone through were pretty dark. I’ve been through depression, worry, low self-esteem, suicidal thoughts, victimization, loneliness, father-less, etc. Sin is a really dark thing if you don’t get it away from you. It will come to attack you to kill, destroy and steal (aka) the devils assignment towards your life. It’s bad enough we are born into sin, but once it continues threw our life that’s the dangerous part. But God is so good that he always leaves trails/signs to come rescue you. He really does leave the 99 to save that one lost sheep. Guys the things I could of gone threw if God didn’t save me, would be insane! I could of been pregnant, depressed without a husband. Or maybe I wouldn’t even have had the time to get to that point, I probably would of killed myself. Sin, if not delivered from it can lead you to some dark places in your life. I think about where God took me from and I’m amazed. The things God really does for you when you really leave your life in his hands, is amazing ! I used to be a needy person, I thought people could give me what I was missing in life. I was missing complete love and purpose. I used to be an emotional wreck! <—— I truly mean that! I would be so emotional with everything. People would call me the meanest of things and treat me terrible. I would cry right after that, I would need approval from EVERYONE. I would feel enough only when people would compliment me or tell me. I would feel soooo stupid because I couldn’t comprehend things quickly like everyone else around me. I had no confidence in myself what’s so ever. That’s what happens when you have traumas, but I will talk to you more profoundly about this another day… I used to be a sad little puppy everyone would have to walk on egg shells with. BUT GOD! Literally BUT GOD! Transformed me. He healed me. He delivered me. He FREED ME! Still sometimes I struggle but that’s the process. You don’t change instantly, God is constantly refining you. That’s the beautiful thing about God, even when you deserve to be given up on he believes you don’t deserve to! That’s why even if the devil puts doubt in my mind I will not listen! God has shown me that he is real. That JESUS really saved me from this evil world. Now I can truly say that God has turned me into a wise, beautiful, kind, loving, gentle, patient, faithful, joyful, self-controlled, peaceful and etc woman of God! Of course I fall short sometimes, but heyyy we all do. If we were perfect Jesus wouldn’t have needed to come save me and you. The important part is that we try to do better. God tests and sees our hearts. I emphasize we all fail because we really do. Yes God changed me and saved me, but i still fail. I’m really not perfect and thats okay because he came for people like me. If he saved me and changed me, he can for sure do that with you.

But do you truly want that? Do you truly want to be freed? The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 4:4 ESV, “In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God”. The devil is the god of this world and he blinds people. Meaning he keeps them in bondage, from seeing the truth. What will you see today? Captivity or freedom? Do you truly believe in him?.. because i promise the truth will set you free!

  1. Wow Glory to God. This is so powerful something I needed to hear. Sometimes in this walk you just feel like you’re just not good enough to continue walking with God. But God is perfect and our perfect God wants us to continue going even if we fail Him even if we are still struggling!
    I love how you mentioned that yes you were free but you still struggle here and there but that’s because it’s a process and through the process God molds us and makes us as He wants us to be.

    Love you girl. Thank you for this. God bless you. ❤️
