JUST ONE
One thing can change everything.
One new piece of information can change the entire way you
see a situation.
All it takes is ONE!
We can choose to see it from the negative or the positive
context! I’m choosing to see it in the positive, because it reminds me of one
of my favorite love stories in Scripture: Mary and Joseph.
Last year God showed me something about their story that I
had never seen before, and it gave me great hope in the midst of what seemed
like a hopeless situation.
The reason I love it so much is because of something God
showed me about Joseph that I never noticed.
Mary is usually the one who gets the most air time when this
story is told. Rightfully so! She was chosen to be the mother to the Messiah!
BIG DEAL!
But, it was Joseph that stood out to me. Why? Because he was
trying to do the right thing…in his mind! But with ONE new piece of information…everything
changed for Joseph. He went from being determined to quietly divorce Mary, to
marrying her. He was risking his own reputation marrying Mary.
I wrote another post last year with a lot more detail, but
today I was reminded that what can seem hopeless can turn around in a moment!!!!
When God steps in…everything changes! All it took was ONE Angel coming to
Joseph!
All it can take is ONE thing to turn everything around.
It was also a reminder that sometimes thing can seen
perfect! Something or someone can seem like “THE ONE” and all it took was ONE
thing to change your mind and realize that was not the case.
For today, I am going to air on the positive side of things.
That in the midst of a hopeless situation…all it takes in THE ONE, Jesus
stepping in to change everything!!
