Jesus changes people.
In John 9 the Pharisees demand answers a man didn’t have about this Jesus who’d just healed him.
“I don’t know. One thing I do know: I was blind and now I see!”
His neighbors said, “Isn’t this the one who used to sit begging?” He says, “I’m the one.”

This is the witnessing power of transformation. I have doubts about a lot of things but whether or not Jesus is real & His Spirit still at work doing the impossible are not among them. No imaginary friend, no amount of positive thinking, no church or doctrine could’ve changed me.
I ought to be dead by now. I oughta be so bitter, suspicious & angry that I’m miserable. My family should be in shambles. So many things happened differently than I hoped that I ought to have long ago lost my faith. But the thing is, I’m not, it’s not & I didn’t. Because, Jesus.
He keeps standing me up on my feet again. He refuses to let cruelty kill my joy. He keeps laughter easy in my lungs. Keeps me mesmerized by His words. Only Jesus can do that. That’s not in a person. I failed Jesus so miserably. Broke all my promises to Him. But He didn’t fail me.
He will not fail you.
