Reinvent vs. transform
Why do life changing events transform some people and traumatize others? We make the choice based on who we think we are. Every human imprint is different, yet we share one thing. We are made in God’s image. Unique imprint superimposed on our God created self.
Life changing event! Leaning into God, He can take us through, transform us to make us stronger. Equip us for our new circumstance knowing our weaknesses, and untaped strengths.
To reinvent ourselves, apart from God, requires herculean effort with uncertain outcomes.
Consider Joni Eareckson Tada in her wheel chair with her world wide ministry.
Consider Carol Kent after her son committed murder she inspired thousands to offer all to God?
Life changing event, my friend? Let God, whose image you bear transform you.
