Daily Power #80

“If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” (John 8:36)

Sometimes we feel stuck and begin to wonder if we will ever change. We let others label us and we start to believe them. We feel haunted by past mistakes and don’t know how to move forward.

No matter what you’ve done or haven’t done, God’s power is big enough to change you. There is no sin too great for God’s grace. There is no habit too big for his healing. There is no label too strong for his love. Let me put it another way, because I want you to believe this: God’s power is bigger than your past.

And his power is rooted in his love for you. He knows who you really are no matter what others may label you—or what you label yourself. What’s true about you now doesn’t have to be true about you later. The goal is not to “reinvent” yourself by striving to be some perfect person but to allow God to give you an extreme makeover by uncovering your true self in his image, redeemed through Christ. What once was no longer has to be. God can and will break the labels that have held you hostage.

You have freedom in Christ to become who you were meant to be.

Dear Father, I’m so grateful that you know everything I’ve done and still love me. Give me strength to overcome my past mistakes and to move into the fullness of who you created me to be.
