Only for the weak, Redeemed

I can't sleep, even though I have to get up in 5 hours for PIT Crew training. I can't stop thinking about all the crazy things ahead and how somehow along the way, in finding my identity, I have also misplaced the other half. Rectification, redemption....I was reading the epic Oswald Chambers today and he spoke about Redemption being the main message of the gospel...I think this applies not just to non-Christians, but to Christians alike. Jesus restores us (or at least wants to if we will let Him) to who He created us to be in the first place, which is beautiful.
But, how can you be certain that some aspects of your life need that restoration or if they need to be laid to rest. If laid to rest, can they be resurrected in a new fashion to bring glory and honour to God instead of shame?

However He breaks me down, I pray that He would show me what's worth keeping and what's worth letting go. I feel that somehow I have let go of things that were never meant to be seen or used for compromise...if He owns it all, if He dishes out the skills, gifts and talents, then I ought to do what I do best in light of His glory, dedicated to Him...I'm sure He'll take care of the rest, not to mention the history.

In the words of Mattew West, "Yesterday is history, and history is miles away, so leave it all behind you, let it always remind you of the day...the day that Love made history"

Thanks Jesus for making the old me history and transforming this so called man into a so-called child. I find my ID card in you, and so its with all I have that you have given me that I will turn back to you for your use. I feel you around me, you go before me and are behind.

Simplifying the words of God through the prophet Jeremiah, IT'S ONLY FOR THE WEAK. Hallelujah to that peeps!!

"Thus says the LORD: "Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, Let not the mighty man glory in his might, Nor let the rich man glory in his riches; But let him who glories glory in this, That he understands and knows Me, That I am the LORD, exercising lovingkindness, judgement, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight," says the LORD."
