Transformed by Faith
A New Creation Awaits
The Bible reminds us that “if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” (2 Corinthians 5:17). This powerful truth is exemplified in the remarkable story of a young woman who was once trapped in a life of addiction and despair.
From Darkness to Light
At just 14 years old, she was hooked on drugs, and by 17, she was addicted to heroin and crack cocaine. Her situation spiraled out of control, leading her to prostitution and eventually, prison. Feeling hopeless, she contemplated suicide. But in her darkest moment, she cried out to God, and He answered. Jesus transformed her life, healing the deep wounds of her past.
A Life of Purpose
Today, this remarkable woman runs a therapeutic animal project, where she trains young people to work with animals and learn to trust and love again. It’s a testament to the power of God’s redemption, as He reaches broken lives through the unlikeliest of means.
The Power of Prayer
If you’re praying for someone struggling with addiction, don’t lose hope. Keep asking God to reach them in ways that will touch their heart. As we’ve seen, even the most unlikely methods can be used by God to bring transformation.
A Life-Changing Love
We may not know how or when God will intervene, but we can trust that He knows the perfect time and place to reach our loved ones with His life-changing love. Let us thank Him for His infinite wisdom and pray for the millions who have yet to experience this transformative power.
A Prayer for the Lost
Jesus, we thank you for changing lives. Today, we pray for those who have not yet encountered Your life-changing love. Draw them to Yourself, Oh Lord! Amen.
