God IS Greater than your highs and lows.....

 

It was a day that many won’t remember any more than any others. You wonder what others were doing or thinking. Did they even realize the importance of the day?

The day you were born.

Yes. Do you even know how important that day was? Do you know any details? The day may give you happy thoughts or even thoughts that you wish you didn’t have. Happy. Sad. Lots of questions.

Genesis 1:27

“So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.”

Created in His image. His likeness. Semblance. Optical counterpart.

Now we know that we aren’t a bodily image of God. Because God does not have a body. It goes deeper. To the form of our soul. The spiritual personality. Our righteous likeness. We were perfect. In every way.

And yet given a right to choose.

 

You were born in the likeness of God. So what happened?

I will tell you – LIFE. From the moment you were born there was struggle. Struggle to breath. Struggle to live. Struggle to communicate your needs Struggle to survive being in a family that was not perfect and had their issues.

I was there with you.

Born to two people who wanted me but were young and damaged. Coming from homes that were struggling. Alcoholism. Drugs. Sexual abuse. Emotional abuse. Verbal abuse.

But they were church goers. Loved Jesus. Wanted to please Him. But amid their issues, life was difficult to manage. Trying to filter through a life of imperfect relationships and sinful people. Distorting how they see life. How they think. What is a person to do? How do you overcome this? To become more like Jesus.

It’s not easy. There are so many twists and turns. So many ways God is trying to guide you and help you become ‘more like Jesus’. The question is: how open are you to listening and do the hard stuff to become more like Him? Knowing what is in the future. What the rewards will be.

Let me tell you how I have tried to do this. Not perfectly. Because it’s not possible. But with the awareness that God has been a part of everything that has happened to me. Good and bad. Highs and lows.

Let's start from the beginning.
