The last 6 months have been a season of change. I used to hate change and strongly resist it. It didn't really matter what it was, I just didn't want to change. It sounded uncomfortable and scary.
But God's been showing me that change is an important part of life. Sometimes in order to keep growing a change is necessary. The changes He asks of me are always for the good. Often it has to do with ways of relating or attitudes of the heart.
Sometimes there might be outward changes like a new job, church, location or relationship. These can be pretty scary because the question I often ask is: "What will others think?" (I'm not saying that is a good question. I'm just saying that is where my mind often goes.)
As I have opened my heart to change, it has been exciting to see God at work, making me more like Him. He is for me and not against me! He wants my life to prosper in every way.
So, after all this talk of change...I was surprised today when God clearly showed me, through scripture and a dream, something I don't need to change. I didn't really want to but thought I'd probably have to. What an incredible relief!
God is full of surprises! Don't put him in a box. Listen closely to what He is saying to YOU for this particular time and place and season in your life.
He loves you much more than you know...
