A New Kind of Person

God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)

As we journey through life, we find ourselves constantly swinging on the pendulum between the past and the future, between shame and potential, between regret and promise. It can be unsettling to let go of who we’ve been and embrace the new person we’re becoming, but that is exactly what the Lord invites us to do. He calls us to trust in Him and to let go of our past mistakes and regrets, and to step out of our comfort zone into the unknown.

The Lord’s call is not just an invitation to manage our lives based on our past experiences, but an invitation to let His presence and power transform us. He promises to give us a new spirit, one of power, love, and a sound mind. He promises to bless us and empower us to push boundaries and test limits, to become a new kind of person, one who is unaffected by the struggles of the past.

In this moment, we have the opportunity to let go of our past mistakes and regrets and embrace the new person we are becoming. The Lord is with us every step of the way, guiding us and transforming us. He is the one who will bring us through the difficult times and bless us with the power to overcome.

We must choose: will we continue to manage our lives based on our past experiences, or will we let the Lord transform us and lead us on a new faith adventure?

The choice is yours. Trust the Lord, who has begun a good work in you, and will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus. Let Him guide you to become a new kind of person, one strengthened by Christ’s promise to transform you.
