Quarantine Transformation

I have a week with no school before summer classes start, so I thought I would sit down and write a post before my life gets full again with college classes. 

 I don’t know about you, but I feel like I have been learning a lot about myself through this quarantine. Actually let me rephrase that, I have been learning a lot about the truest me during this quarantine. This includes all the good qualities that I possess as well as the not so good qualities and sometimes this is hard to see and hear. Seriously, who wants to see their weaknesses and shortcoming… not me, but I am thankful my God does it in such a grace filled way. I call them graceful whispers. They come softly, gently, gracefully, and full of truth and conviction.  

I was thinking about if I had to choose one word to represent this season in quarantine for me, it would be the word transformation. I have been able to spend a lot of time reading the Bible during this quarantine and really pressing into the Lord and His goodness. I feel like this is something we don’t want to miss. What I mean by this is I believe God is doing amazing work during this time in hearts of believers and it might even bring about revival afterwards, so if we don’t have our hearts in a position for Him to work on we might miss an amazing opportunity. 

 I believe this quarantine has caused a lot of transformation for people and to be honest a lot of people are complaining about it, but I think we should choose to see the good even in the hard times. Families are reconnecting, our daily lives are slowing down, and each day seems to be a forced sabbath. Relationships are being mended, communication skills are being built, and friends we once were close with are reaching back out to check up on us. 

Transformation is a good thing when it is done by the Holy Spirit in our hearts, souls, and minds. I pray that you would have an open mind and an open heart. That you would allow the Lord to transform you from the inside out. That you would let go of everything in this life and at the end you would be found holding nothing but onto Jesus. Blessing on you!!
