Reshaping the Inner You

I have learned, in my years as a pastor and through personal experience, that we can allow the hard times to steal all of life's rich meaning, or we can enter into a renewing process that will reshape us from inside out. This is not a naive statement. It is based on my slow but steady discovery that the steadfast love of God never fails...In the middle of turbulent, sometimes discouraging, times God has not abandoned us. He is working in the lives of people and in the very events that shape and mold our world....Like the ancient people who followed a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night, we find, to our great joy, that God does not set us out to walk through the wilderness alone, but He always goest before us. At a time when society places such empahsis on reshaping our material worlds, pressures of failure have become all the more intense. We try to build strong relationships, set high financial goals, and aim to fashion a brighter future for ourselves and our children. Then the world assets its ways, and we discover that despite our goals and good intentions, some, maybe even all, of our dreams and plans slip through our fingers. For those who have had relationships go awry, who have seen frustrations and fears block their plans, who have experienced depression, temptation, accidents, sickness, or suffering, Dr. Hinson shows how to meet and triumph over our troubles, through trust in Jesus.
