When You
Desire a change in Your Life
When
you are yearning for a change or an improvement in your life, there are few
basic points that you must first consider.
They
are:
1.To
Change your life is possible
If
you want to bring about any desired improvement in your life, you must first of
all believe that that change is possible.
It
is most essential for you to know and accept that you can alter your life and
circumstances. Then you will work diligently to bring about the necessary
improvement.
William
James, the father of modern psychology said:
“The
greatest discovery of our time is that man is able to change the circumstances
of his life by changing his thoughts and his feelings."
Apostle
Paul wrote: Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.” ~ Romans 12:2
The
truth is change is going on every time. Everything you see, smell and touch are
in a continuous process of changing for something better. Life itself is a
continuous change.
Therefore
you too can improve any area of your life with God's Help.
The
Bible say, you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.
Philippians 4:13
By
your own power alone you may not be able to bring about any improvement you
desire.
However,
with God all things are possible. You need to believe the truth that change is
always possible and that no matter your situation you can change with God’s
help.
2.
Improvement is not Easy but Desirable
You
need to accept the challenge that it is not going to be very easy to make your
life better. There are two reasons why to improve your self will not be an easy
task:
1.The
opposition or the enemy is always there.
He
is Satan. He will try to tempt you and will want you to believe that it's
impossible. He will not therefore allow you to easily better your life or
situation.
The
role of your enemy is to hinder you from any improvement. He wants to keep you
at the bottom. He will continue to whisper to you to “bow down, that he may go
over you.” Isaiah 51:23
But
you are not made to be a permanent living carpet for your enemy. Hence, you
need to struggle to remove your self from the dust. Stop Satan from trampling
upon you.
You
can get over your physical weakness or sickness. If you refuse to lie down to
it. You can get over poverty and bad relationships if you would resist the
devil so that he will flee from you.
Get
up from the dust today. You can do it with God.
2.The
Old is good enough
You
are used to the old wine and its taste. You have no desire to try any new
thing. Luke 5:39
This
is because your life is made up of habits. Maybe you have tried and discover
things never come easy. You love to act as you have done in the past.
This
is a great law in Nature. Your habit is like a river flowing through an old
pathway. It flows easily and cuts deeper gutter along the same route.
Your
habit creates similar pathway in your brain. This makes it difficult for you to
try anything new.
Good
as well as bad habit become deep rooted when you allow it for a long time. The
longer you entertain a habit the more difficult it is for you to overcome it.
However,
bad habits are those which ruin your body, mind, life and soul. Many habits
result in eternal penalties. That makes urgent for you to give al it takes to
change your bad habits.
3.To
Improve Your Life takes Time
Therefore
don’t be in a hurry. You need patience and hard work to bring about any change.
Remember to reach any destination requires you take only one step at a time.
Concentrate on winning the day’s battle. When you win today, your chance of
winning tomorrow becomes higher
Improvement
is a slow, steady and sure process. It takes slow and steady steps to win the
race. Stay on course by taking One important step at a time.
You
will reap a good reward for your efforts if only you continue and persist
patiently in well doing.
Therefore,
if you want to improve any aspect of your life, you must stand firm and never
allow any thing to move you. You should never be weary or tired in doing good.
Therefore, if you fail or fall in your first step, never mind, get up and try
again. ~ 1 Corinthians 15:58, Romans 2:7, Galatians 6:9.
4.Change
Brings Benefits
There
are benefits of making all the efforts and for persisting patiently until you
are transformed.
Change
is easy when you bring God into your life and situation. You could only improve
your self by going back to your creator. When you get back to the source the
benefits are many.
The
benefits are enough to keep you focus on your goal. They are sources of
encouragement for you to make the sacrifices required for your self
improvement. When you bring God into the center of your life, your change would
be total.
Psalms
103:2-5 gives some of the benefits. You will receive forgiveness for all your
sins.
Sins
are your shortcomings or failures. God would turn your failure to success as He
willing to cover all your past sins, failures and errors.
Your
diseases are healed. Your life is redeemed from the pit of darkness as God
crowns you with His Agape love and compassion. All your desires are satisfied with
good things.
So
that your youth and vigor are renewed on a daily basis.
These
are good incentives for you to improve your self. However, your major goal if
you are a disciple of Jesus is to make heaven and reap the benefits of living
forever with Him.
This
eternal benefit made the Macedonians’ disciples to give themselves wholly to
Jesus. The joy of living eternity with Jesus should give you enough drive to
dedicate your entire life to God and constantly make the effort to improve your
self.
You
can see how athletes train their mind and body to obtain earthly crown. That
should give you the zeal you need to change your life so as to obtain eternal
rewards. ~ 1 Corinthians 9:24-25.
