What we need to be

We cannot become what we need to be by remaining what we are. – J. Maxwell

Paul says he spent 3 years unlearning what he ‘thought’ was the right way before he met Jesus. Wow!

No doubt about it, most people; present company included, are resistant to change. Often, if we’re not careful we let complacency set the order of the day for us. We say we desire improvement but tend to firmly resist changing any of our routines. That’s a problem because we all know that old maxim ‘if you keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll keep getting what you’re getting.’ The fact is life is all about change, but for us to grow in new ways we have to be more than just open to change, we have to actually and physically pursue change. It’s much more than wishful thinking, it takes dedicated, consistent application and review. We must remember, though God takes us as we are, He is not going to leave us that way. Perfection is His goal and sometimes He needs us to be a bit more ‘moldable.’

Until tomorrow……
