Inevitable Change

Change! Poeple are, for the most part, afraid of change. I don't mean the changes in getting a new home or a new car, but the changes in life like: jobs, church, relationships, etc. The changes that have significant impact on our lives and the lives of others in many cases. I for one had a life of partying and fun that I didn't want to change, at least in that period of time. I wanted to live in that moment forever. Like the Toys R Us song, I don't wanna grow up,I'm a toys r us kid. Then I had some life changing moments that led to me giving my life to Jesus Christ. Many new Christ followers ask the same question, "Does this mean I will have to change now"? Here is your answer. No, you do not have to change. On the contrary, if you surrender and give your life to Jesus, YOU WILL CHANGE! You will become a new creation, and this leads me to my favorite scripture in the Bible. "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, the old has gone, the new has come" 2 Corinthians 5:17. Let this be our prayer, whether it is for us or for someone we know........ Father, we ask that you bring change into our lives and the lives of others so that we may shine the light you have flowing through our bodies. In the dark, even the smallest light will shine. We pray that we are able to take the bad from our life and turn them to good. In Jesus name we pray father, Amen!
