Melissa and I are thankful and so very blessed. We know that without Him, we can't make it and will be limited. But with Him, all things are possible for us and New Destiny!
Isaiah 43:18, 19 says,"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland."
What is amazing, is that God takes someone who is a nobody and makes them into someone because of Him. Often we are looking for a person who is a diamond or Eagle already, perfected and priceless. But see God is looking for our availibility and our heart.
1 Samuel 16:7 it says,"Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."
When God was looking to anoint a king, he chose David for his heart. There are people who have been in a desert wasteland feeling like they have no hope. Maybe that is you right now. At times, we may have all felt that way. But God would speak it today that He is making a way in our lives. As we rise up and give all to Him, we begin to soar like an eagle (see previous blog - Isaiah 40:31) and take shape like a diamond. We are priceless and full of the desire to soar! Too often in our lives, we hold back and play it safe. We do what we know we can do. God would speak to step out in faith, to begin to see as God sees.
New Destiny Community Church will gladly welcome diamonds - those soaring like eagles. We need them as we are launching forth. But also, God has birthed us to be a church that sees each person that we come upon through God's eyes. He sees all the potential. He sees all the gifts. God sees our pains, desires, hopes and dreams. He wants to do a New Thing in us! As you read this blog, God is speaking forth in our lives. He is speaking to you and I to not live a life of limits, but to live limitless and full of dreams.
Blessings,
