The old me dated to avoid loneliness and didn't care who I was dating, me now dates the right person based off of what God says. The old me looked to everyone but God when I was lonely, the me now looks to God whenever loneliness begins to creep in. The old me looked to people for acceptance and approval, the me now looks to God for acceptance and approval. The old me went to people for comfort in the difficult times and the answers when I didn't have any, the me now goes to God first for answers and comfort. The old me had no confidence, no self-worth, and extremely low self-esteem because I was believing the lies of the enemy, the me now believes the truths of God and knows whose I am and that I am beautifully and wonderfully made. The old me was empty and tried to fill the void where God was supposed to be with everything else, the me now has filled that void with God and has been made complete because of it. The old me never believed in myself as being worth anything, the me now knows that I am worth more than enough. The old me was great surface level but a mess deep down, the me now has God both in my heart and on the surface.
I could go on and on with the differences between the old me and me now, but I've covered pretty much every area. The changes I've made and the life I live now make me so thankful that I finally stopped listening to everyone and everything else, and started listening to God. When you lay your life in His hands and give Him full control of everything, the changes will amaze you. God is so good and I'm so blessed to be a much better version of myself and the person God created.
"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me."
Galatians 2:20
