All of us are trying to improve ourselves in some kind of way, weather by our look or style, by trying to lose weight, maybe even our personality. But we all have tried in some way to change who we are; sometimes to our detriment. In some cases, we even harming others in our process. This has been the most sought after thing to long for. Even in the time of David the king of the Hebrews proclaimed:
Psalms 51:7-10
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean:
wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. 9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
During the 16th century, Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon was looking for the fountain of youth, a mythical spring that restores the youth of anyone who drinks its waters. A lot of the time, all of us have looked back at what was. I would say that even today we want things to change in our lives, although most of us don’t know how or are willing to change our ways for the better. There are five things that as a person that wants a change in there life has to do:
- Admit who and what your are
- Forgive yourself
- Commit yourself to the process
- Never surrender yourself to failure in the process
- Allow Jesus to lead and guide through the Word of God (Bible)
Isaiah 64:6-9
6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. 7 And there is none that calleth upon thy name,
that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities. 8 But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand. 9 Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.
In my conclusion: I’ll leave you with these verses:
Hebrews 2:5-10
5 For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. 6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him? 7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: 8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. 9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
Praise GOD
