I recently had the chance to look back on some writing that I did a few years ago.
This writing included some of my thoughts on various gospel topics.
There were a lot of things that I was really impressed that I had written, and I was very proud of Cali-from-the-past!
But there were other things that I thought and wrote that made me literally cringe.
Some judgmental things, superficial things, things that I clearly had not really thought through but was just repeating what I had heard…
It was honestly a little weird to read some things.
And the reason it seemed so weird to me is because I have changed and grown so much on a spiritual level!
My soul has been stretched and refined and my testimony has gained more depth and love.
And looking at my words I had written years ago, I had this solid proof of just how far my spiritual maturity has come.
When I read the words of Psalm 66:16, I can’t help but add my testimony to it:
“Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.” (Psalm 66:16)
How has God changed you from who you were 10 years ago? 5 years ago? 1 year ago? Last week?
What has He forgiven you of?
What understanding has He given you?
What refining has He done?
What questions has He answered?
What love has He put into your heart?
What has God done for your soul?
Happy Studying!
