See all Hallelujahs By Tiffany Jackson
Just like the Potter, I am the clay needing to be molded, just like the pieces to a puzzle waiting to be put together and just like the wood inside an unfinished newly built home, I am under construction. I am not perfect nor do I claim to be but what I found to bring peace to my heart is the fact that I have a Father who will help guide me in the right direction.
See it is ok to admit that you are under construction because when we come to a point where we feel that we cannot be helped, not be improved or not grow stronger in the Lord then we begin to stop moving. Romans 3:23 reads, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (KJV).” Therefore; we are all equally God’s children and as humans we tend to make similar mistakes but because of the blood that was shed on the cross, we can confess and ask for forgiveness and God will hear our prayer. These are things that you will learn as you grow spiritually.
Spiritual maturity is only achieved by growth in the Word. We become spiritually stronger by reading our daily manual (Bible), studying, praying, worshipping and attending Bible classes that will help strengthening our relationship with God.
Take a look inside the mirror and say I am working to renovate myself. I need to improve my attitude, I need to change my bad habits, I need to break away from unhealthy relationships, I need to be more involved with the Word. Whatever, it is that you know you need to change, change it today. Do not wait until tomorrow because tomorrow is not promised to any of us.
And as you grow and change, your exterior world becomes a reflection of your interior. The renovation of the person inside will change how you respond to what happens outside of you. Try to live in the light that God shines in front of you but always remember you are not perfect, you are still under construction.
May God Bless And Keep You,

Ms. Tiffany Jackson,
I would like to say it is a very hard struggle to live and do what GOD wants because you do lose friends and even family members. Everyone says they are proud of you and how you’ve made the change to be what GOD wants you to be but when you try to tell people how good GOD has been in your life since you accepted the Lamb they say things like, "Yeah Yeah" or "Girl don't get too save with me" . I have experienced the lost of family, constant stares from people in the church (that claim to be saved & filled) and even the destruction of a marriage. However, I still keep a smile on my face & will continue my walk with GOD because I know (he told) he got a blessing in store for me........
