God Can
Many times in life we struggle with our past and fail to walk in our potential
future. Let me make a profound statement . . . Your past has nothing to
do with what God can do for your future! God says,
"In spite of what you used to be, I can still bring you out!
I know that you used to be a dog, but I can still bring you
out!
I know you slept with half the football team, but I can still
bring you out!
I know that you have bad credit and now you want a house, but I can
still bring you out!
I know that they call you by your problem and not your name---
I can still bring you out!"
There is no past too troubled and no person that God can't
redeem. He took a murderer named Moses and made him a prophet.
He took a pimp named Abram (if you wonder why I called him that, go
back to Genesis and see how many times he sold his wife off for possession
because he was afraid of being killed) and made him the father of
nations.
He took a liar and cheater named Jacob and made him a prince named
Israel and blessed his seed.
He took a prostitute named Rahab, called her blessed and changed
her profession!
He took a Christian hater name Saul and made him the great apostle
Paul.
I could go on and on. If God used those people, he can use you.
So what you've had a bad past? That is the problem--- you
keep living in the past. God wants to bring you into the
present and develop for you a great future!
He says it best in 2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore, if anyone
is in Christ, he is a new creation, the old has gone, the new has
come!" Hold on my brothers and sisters your change is coming.
