When Jesus changes us and turns our lives around, it’s a miracle! No one can bring true freedom from destructive habits, thoughts, or actions. No one can break the bonds of addiction but Him. So we praise Him when He hears our cry and meets us where we are. We thank Him for forgiving our past and completely changing our future.
But what happens when those old temptations come back to meet us … or even when we give into them? Is that the end? Did we just cut ourselves off from that grace? Not at all!
But at this point we have a choice: to label ourselves a failure and give up the fight OR to surrender it all over to Jesus again and turn our hearts and lives back to Him. Even if it’s been years, it’s never too late to ask Him to help you make that turn.
Here’s Ben talking about “Turn.”
