Right Change

Some people change when they see the light, others change only when they feel the heat. – Anon

 

One thief on the cross had a change of heart when he saw Jesus hanging there and he received grace, the other one, well……you know!   

 

One thing we learn in life is that the only constant is change. Change implies growth, progress, or improvement. Neighborhoods change, products change, laws change, and yes even people change. But we must look to the reason for change. Change under duress (heat) is not really change at all but a re-direction of energies to get the same results, it’s really masquerading, that’s all. But when one sees and understands the ways of God are true, righteous, and advantageous to live by, their ways are changed not to get the same results but the right results. God is at work, hard hat and all trying to bring about those changes in our life that please him. Here’s hoping we see the light before we feel the heat!

 

Until Monday…..

“When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired men have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father I have sinned….” – Luke 15:17-18
