Spiritual Lesson: He Makes all Things New

Today I had lunch with a wonderful person who I serendipitously met this past month at what we found is both of our favorite go-to Bubble Tea spots (phew, long sentence).

She is one of the most thoughtful, beautiful, bright and genuine people I've met in a while. Like a breath of fresh air she was brought into my life and I into hers. We have no shared characteristics or walks of life except that we were in the same place at the same time, we're both flawed believers and God used our meeting each other to bring encouragement.

Today she reminded me that God doesn't just restore or rebuild broken walls, He makes ALL things NEW.

"⁴ He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." ⁵And he who was seated on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new."" Rev 21:4-5

She also said, people who do something great often don't know how it'll happen but know that it WILL happen. It doesn't mean we're to be lazy, but when God gives us gifts, talents and callings, He WILL open the doors of opportunities for it to come to pass.

I have KNOWN in my spirit that God gave me a desire to sing to Him in worship and to be a voice towards that purpose since I was a freshman in college. I've crossed many bumps in the road that sometimes hid my view from the horizon but I know in my spirit God will make a way.

She also reminded of the word "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." Matt 6:33

How I've lost in faith in this, but oh how God is bringing me back to that faith. And I'm finding peace, purpose and life through it.

Starting a Lesson a Day

This past year has been a whirlwind that is hopefully starting to take more formation trajectory and direction. As I've walked out of a breakup, took a leave of absence from social work school, rejoined my church worship team, wrote my first two songs, started sound mixing, and got a new Mac which is spurring my interest in technology, I feel my mind is trying to make ground in so many areas of my life.

I've decided to dust off this blog and to use it to write "A Lesson a Day". As an INFP this will help me finalize things and build upon them in small increments which I very much need.

I'm excited to see the things I'll learn and write about. It can be about random facts, or things I study, read, or find personal revelation in. It'll also hopefully track what my mind and hands continue to dwell upon.

I might also have multiple lessons a day under different topics. Here goes!
