Before and after pictures are a favorite thing of mine. Whether it is skincare results, home remodels or Miraclegro commercials, I love to see the transformation from what was to what is. I have included some before and after pics from our most recent house flip. We had so much fun with this remodel and I will be talking more about it in the weeks to come.

The thing about before and after is the distinct delineation between what was–your past–and what is–your present and future. What I love about the Lord is how He lets us look at the before picture but He removes any doubt, fear or shame connected to it, then He focuses our attention to the after picture. He helps us see the transformation He has made in our lives and He shows us where we are going in His plans and purposes for us.

Our lives consist of many before and afters, and thankfully, every day, hour and minute have the potential of transformation when we submit to the Holy Spirit. Through Christ we have been made fresh and new and that is good news!

‘Now, if anyone is enfolded into Christ, he has become an entirely new person. All that is related to the old order has vanished. Behold, everything is fresh and new.’ 2 Corinthians 5:17 TPT.
