New

I am eternally grateful for God's recreation. I was a mess. I had a depraved mind. I longed for destructive things. I obsessed over worthless pursuits. I craved the attention of heartless idols. I believed falsehoods about God's character. God took my ashes and gave me beauty.

I have left those worthless things to cling to the only One found worthy: the One full of grace and truth. I use to live for the affections of others. I felt broken and useless without the approval of my peers. Until I found acceptance in my Beloved. Until I encountered His kiss. Now I live for His eyes alone.

My people have committed two sins:
They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.

Those were my sins before the Holy Spirit redeemed me, before He spoke His love over me. When I discovered His endless love, I no longer needed love outside of Him. He is all together lovely. His revelation stole my heart. I am not who I was. Nor will I ever return to the darkness of false accusation. I will press on to know Him better. I will exalt Him above every other lover.
Jesus is near. He will never leave me or forsake me. His presence is my salvation. He has made me new, and you won't recognize me.

I invite you to search Him out. He will redeem your brokeness.
