Glimpses of Ex-change

More often than not, we sense change long before we see it.
Our reaction, or better yet, our response to change is crucial. I continue to be amazed how something dying mesmerizes me. I know this must be like a soul dying to self or selfish ambitions. Heavens glimpse of repentance…

We may glean a minute understanding of why heaven rejoices.

Upon finding His lost sheep, Jesus said, “”rejoice with Me.“

“I tell you there is more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.””


What a beautiful site. Soon our trees will be glistening gold.

Glimpses of Ex-Change

Delicate and elusive
Difficult to understand
Disguised in purpose
Expert plan

Subtle and new
Glimpses of change
Meticulous care
The Great exchange

Like seasons on earth, and the work of the trees, we also continue dying to self as part of the process of sanctification. As such, repentance and dying to self is both a one-time event and a lifelong process.

“So with God’s enablement we will move on to deeper truths.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭6‬:‭3‬ ‭TPT‬‬
I’m excited about what next season holds. Deep and profound truths await us.

God bless you and keep you and make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord cause His countenance to rise upon you and give you Shalom.

Until next time, thanks for listening with me, laurette
