A witty eye catching title
I've been thinking a lot lately about change. Mostly about how much I need it. There are things in my life that are unworthy of a disciple of Christ. Junk in the trunk, baggage, skeletons in the closet, pick your metaphor, that is what I need to change. I've known it for a decade, and for a decade I've been trying to change it. Part of me wants to change it, but obviously not all of me otherwise I would have changed right? It's like Paul was talking about in his epistles. That which is evil, that which I abhor, that is what I do. But what is good, decent, pure, that I do not do. I see good, I see the man I want to be transformed into. But I can't do it.
God is the only One that can change me into such a man. God is the change agent in my life. He is the catalyst, the root cause for any good thing that can be found in me even now. Though I am a child of the most high God, saved by the redeeming blood of Jesus Christ, I am still not the man I long to be. There needs to be change in my life if I am going to go and do all that God has called me to do. No matter what good can be said of me it's not enough to make right that which is wrong in me. I need change. I need to be broken down and stripped bare of all that keeps me trapped as a mediocre, hypocritical and foolish man. I need God sized change, and I needed it yesterday.
