Change We Can Believe In


How many times in life do we really get lost? I still remember that horrible feeling when I realized I had wandered away from my parents in the store, running from isle to isle hoping to just catch a glance of them so I was not alone. I guess that’s it, often when we lose our way we end up alone, isolated and almost feeling abandoned. We sense that we are trapped in a world that pressures us to be ungodly and drives us away from knowing we can change.

Do you know that change is possible? Many live lost in the lie that a person can’t change, it’s just not true. Each human has the ability to ignite change in their lives and make themselves better. I am not talking up a new self-help book. I am promoting the One that changes from the inside out. Each of us can take the areas we are lost in personally and offer them to Jesus. In exchange He gives us a new life and fresh start clean from all guilt and shame.

Walk in that today and don’t let your past do anything but remind you how great a God you serve.

“I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.” (John 12:24-25)
