Because the Lord Said

God will take what you smashed and make it new. He will take what you threw away and gave up on and turn it into what will bless and encourage you.

That’s what God does. When, at that time, He says to you, ‘Come up to Me’, and you come with all that you smashed, God does His best work, every time.

For God takes the life you loitered, the moment you mistaked, the story you shamed, and the beauty you broke, and He turns it into a life fully lived, where each moment is a masterpiece, your story is significant, and your life becomes beautiful beyond compare. Because that’s what God does.

Do you believe it?

God so longs for you to come to Him so He can bless and encourage you. Hear the LORD calling to you, “Come up to Me.”

“At that time the Lord said to [Moses], ‘Chisel out two stone tablets like the first ones… Come up to me on the mountain, and I will write on the tablets the same words that were on the ones you smashed...’” - Deuteronomy 10:1-2 NLT

That’s what God does! He makes things new! One step at a time, one word at a time, He writes your story into something beautiful, and He makes you new. Do you believe it? Do you trust Him to take all that you smashed and make it new? He will. If only you come to Him.

For He shapes and He builds by His own hands, in the unseen, with eternity in view, for His glory, in His timing, and always with you in mind. He crafts and He creates you anew every time you come to Him.

That’s what God does.

And it’s why the LORD calls to you, “Come up to Me.”

“So [Moses] made an ark of acacia wood, and cut two tablets of stone like the first, and went up the mountain with the two tablets in [his] hand. And [the LORD] wrote on the tablets, in the same writing as before… And the LORD gave them to [Moses].” (Deuteronomy 10:3-4).

Because the LORD said, “Come up to me.”
