Loving God, Loving Others, Making Disciples

As Is

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! —2 Corinthians 5:17

Some people are really good at looking at a piece of junk and finding a treasure. They understand its worth and know how to restore it to its former glory.

God is like that. He takes us “as is” – our sinful, broken self – and sees our worth, even when we don’t see it ourselves. Jesus begins to restore and make us new.

Are you feeling worthless? Are you feeling like you have nothing that God could possibly want? I pray that as you spend time in His presence you will begin to understand the depth of His love for you.
