Change

People can change in a heartbeat.  God has changed me in a heartbeat on many occasions.  All it takes is a moment of revelation to transform my world.

I love that God will change me since I have often failed in my own attempts to bring about positive change in my life.  2 Cor. 3:18* reveals that the Spirit of the Lord will change me from glory to glory.  When I saw that He would bring about change in me, my morning prayer became, “Lord, you said you’d change me from glory to glory into the likeness of your image.  I submit to your will in this, expecting to be different tonight than I am this morning.”

It’s fascinating to see the changes occur in me, especially those I never realized were needed.  The love and grace of God never cease to amaze me.

Seeing how quickly I am changing gives me hope for everyone.  Though someone behaved or spoke one way an hour ago, I’m aware that he or she could have changed since then.  Any negative judgment I could have made about someone yesterday, might have no validity today.  The freedom from judging others is an added benefit to recognizing this lifestyle of change.

I love this life!


* 2 Corinthians 3:18 (NKJV)  “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
