Thank you to Tiffany who so gracefully shared her testimony with us this morning. I loved how she started out with what she knew to be the promises of God. For me, each promise was a gentle reminder of all that we are in God's eyes. It was also a great recap of everything that we've learned and touched on throughout our session at Mom2Mom. Some things that stood out for me...-God often meets us at the most broken moments in our lives, when we can no longer walk on our own.
-He is a true Gentleman and will wait at the door until He is asked to come in.
-The darkest and most confusing time in our lives often leads to the greatest revelation of who God really is.
-God is full of grace, mercy, tenderness and forgiveness. He is not a God who intimidates with guilt, shame and wrath.
-More than anything, God desires a relationship with us over any organized religion.
-When we come to Him in genuine repentance, we will be forgiven and free. He keeps no record of wrongs.
-Grace, what a beautiful and priceless gift!
-Jesus is the only thing that can fill that void in our hearts. We were made to worship Him.
-Lastly, our past does not define who we are, only Jesus does.
I also loved how she took 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 and substituted the word God for love...
"God is patient, God is kind. He does not envy, He does not boast, He is not proud. God does not dishonor others, He is not self-seeking, He is not easily angered. God keeps no record of wrongs. He does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. God always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. God never fails."
Thank you, Tiffany for sharing your story and your heart with us this morning. Your passion for knowing and claiming God's word is both inspiring and contagious! May the Lord continue to bless you and your family abundantly.
