Your whole life can be turned around, not by material things or material circumstances, but by the cleansing power of surrendering all you are and all you have to Christ. Your whole life can be turned around by undergoing the humbling experience of seeking forgiveness for your sins in Christ. The empowering experience of freedom from sin turns your life around. The enabling experience of feeling the love of God through Christ and His grace because you are forgiven turns your life around. The freedom from sin and the grace of God are such life-turning experiences, God's grace is so sufficient, even in suffering or even in the worst hardship, you can praise God who sent his Son to die for you. When you turn your life around, you are not the one who does the turning. Certainly, there is a turning going on, but the love of God is the turning power or turning force and you are the results of God’s turning.
