Amazing, God doesn't want to scrap who I am but wants to save me from what entangles me , He doesn't change who He made me to be - my personality gifts and talents remain, He redeems me to become more how He imagined. No longer are we to be confined by labels that fail to acknowledge the goodness of God, but released into a world of positive and loving adjectives- love beyond our greatest experience !
God wishes to restore and is willing to do so all the time, His patience and love for me is unfathomable , to think that I often struggle with waiting upon Him when its really Him who is taking everything in His timing so that it is perfect for me, there could be no greater demonstration of understanding. He wants to see me flourish , to be vibrant and alive as I fully grow and learn more of what it is to be blessed with the gift of 'fullness of life' in Him. He sees each of us as precious, to be worth so much and will never let us go , I learn more and more how I know that I should rest in Him knowing how Faithful He is - that whatever is happening or going on that despite my inability to understand or control that if I am walking with Him acknowledging Him in life - His plans are only of hope and future - even when things don't seem this way. I always thought this verse was just thrown about a ton but in hindsight if I really believe the word and the truth of God and learn to commit things to Him more and more then I should really take such assurance in knowing that no matter how 'rocky' a path may be that God has promised so much more - He knows exactly what He is doing.

As Einstein said " God doesn't play dice "

- everything is orchestrated with such providential oversight that simply blows our minds and awareness.

Man I truly need the Spirit to remind me of Gods Truth more and more , to know that it is not about what happens but how we respond.........
...... for me to personally remember that it doesn't matter to me as much what I do in this life but who I become in Him and the people I am blessed to meet and love along the way
