Whenever someone made a remark or compliment about her/her life she received it as a flower. At the end of the day she lifted up the bouquet of flowers and said “Here you are, Lord, it is all Yours."
Today I was able to share my heart with a friend. I told her about the hurts that I've experience and my less than perfect childhood. She told me that I've come a long way. I remembered what Corrie said. Yes, I have come a long way! I'm no longer that depressed and broken girl. All that I have and who I am today is all because of the Lord. Any goodness that is in me comes from what he has taught me. I lift up my bouquet to Him.
As John 15:5 says:
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."
I'm continually seeing the truth of this verse. In high school He gave me a fresh start and since then I never left His vine. I learn from Him something new each day; how to be the wife, the mom, the friend He wants me to be. Over the years I've seen the fruit. I'm not where I need to be, but I thank God that I am not where I use to be! :p
