Let God Write a New Story for You By: Victoria Riollano Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. - Isaiah 43:19 Years ago, I completed a certification in Contemporary and Marriage Therapy. Out of everything learned, my favorite therapy learned was Narrative Couples Therapy. This form of therapy asserts that we all have a narrative or a story. Your story is created from the womb, has a foundation in childhood, and shaped by culture, demographics etc. However, here's the great news…. Your story can change at any moment. Your narrative can shift. The way things were are not the way they have to ever be again! The more I researched, the more I could see the heart of God all over this therapy. The truth is, God can rewrite our narrative at any time. He can bring a refreshing and renewal to your story. In fact, He says that when we accept Him, old things pass away and we are new. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 2 Corinthians 5:17 This is not a "maybe-we-are new" moment. Instead, this is a promise. The key is to accept a new story and be willing to allow the Lord to show you His plan for your life. We no longer have to fill like a victim to our past circumstances. We can rise up and recognize that it happened but CHOOSE to move forward. Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. - Isaiah 43:19 |
