Crystal Persons
About 10 years into marriage and ministry, Jesus chased me down and made it clear He wanted my whole heart—not just the put-together parts. I was terrified, uncertain of whether or not the church would accept us if my past was brought into the light.
By God's grace, I SAW NO OTHER OPTION APART FROM SURRENDER.
I grew up in the church; I was a Bible college graduate...and yet I had no idea how to lead from a place of vulnerability. My husband and I ventured into this unknown space together, each surrendering our own stories for God's redemptive purposes.
Over the years, we have not only been met with acceptance but also with more grace and support than we ever could have imagined through the body of Christ. The evidence was plain—THE ENEMY IS A LIAR and has held us captive in shame and condemnation for far too long.
Grandmothers, mothers, daughters...we have territory to reclaim for the Kingdom of God, and the path to make it happen is found within our very own stories. The power of the Gospel comes to life as Jesus redeems our darkest moments for His glory and for our good. No more hiding away the imperfect parts!
JESUS DESIRES TO USE OUR UTTERMOST BROKENNESS FOR HIS UTTERMOST GLORY AND IN OUR HOMES!
