CHANGING!

Scripture of Inspiration: Romans 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you]. This Fridays inspiration is written on Change. I speak with many people and one commonality is that we all are changing daily and sometimes the process can feel and look very difficult. Change does not come through struggle, human effort without God, frustration, self-hatred, self rejection, guilt or works of the flesh. Change in our lives comes as a result of having our minds renewed by the Word of God. As we agree with God and really believe that what He says is true, it gradually begins to manifest itself in us. We begin to think differently, then we begin to talk differently, and finally we begin to act differently. This is a process that develops in stages, and we must always remember that while it is taking place we can still have the attitude, “Im OK and I’m on my way!” Its been a difficult task but with prayer and the Word I have learned and so you must learn to enjoy yourself while you are changing! Enjoy the journey! God is smiling as He walks ahead of you, yet with you, every step of the way. Don’t waste all of your “now time” trying to rush into the future. Remember, tomorrow will have troubles of its own. (Matthew 6:34). Relax. Let God be God. Stop being so hard on yourself. Change is a process; it comes little by little. I love you all and I look forward to seeing the Change in YOU!
