The other day God gave me an incredible revelation:
Just because you are struggling today with something you struggled with one year ago does not mean you are taking steps backwards.
It means He is making you new… again.
He is always making you new.
You were new a year ago.
You were new six months ago.
You were new last month.
And yesterday.
And now you are new today.
God always has something more for us.
A deeper intimacy.
A greater mercy.
Bigger eyes to see.
More words to speak.
God takes us to places where He knows we will be stretched and where He knows we will grow.
Shouldn't we be happy we have struggles? Even if they are the same as they were a year ago or a decade ago, it means the Lord loves us enough to bring us closer to Him, to make us more like Him, and to make us newer than we were a minute ago.
