Hello and Welcome NewStuff17 - What a great name..'New Stuff'..I love it! ... It so is indicative of what the Bible stands for. I must admit I am not an introvert, but I do have a tendency to look at what I see in this world versus what God is painting a new picture for me to see in that same world as the real truth and reality, thus, I can become fearful if I do not exercise my faith to look thru His eyes at things..An artist does not tell us what He sees, He enables us to see.
I love how God has done three things in me in identifying myself in Him (three impossible things from the natural standpoint): The first is He has taken my past and made it as if it had never been. The second is He has made me all over again. And the third is, He has made me as certain of Himself as He is of Himself. New Birth isn't just Salvation from Hell, it is much more radical - it is something that tells in my actual life. What we tend to be in the old life He can restore and build Himself in us to be according to His will and parenting. May God richly build your character to His standards and purposes. God still works His Might thru our weaknesses; in fact, all the more so thru our limitations in showing His glory. - God Bless you here!
