“CHANGE!”

Me-Maw Thoughts

November 3, 2020///

As I think about the condition of our Nation and the turmoil that is prevalent, and the knowledge that the news we are subject to cannot be believed, I want to share what my heart realizes.

The thing that needs changing in the United States and the world is people’s hearts!!

We as a nation can pray and vote for the candidates whose views line up closest to the word of God.  And we should!

Laws can be put into place and enforced as much as is humanly possible and marches and rallies can encourage people to work for a cause!

But it is the hearts of people turned to the Creator of the Universe that will make a defining difference in our Nation and World.

The true Christians and true Christian leaders, and churches who believe God is who He says He is, and Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior are the ones who can make real change.

If the human traffickers had a heart filled with Faith in God, human trafficking would stop.

If those who smuggled, sold, and used all kinds of illegal drugs and misused legal drugs had a heart change, drug trafficking would stop.

If those who sell their soul for fame and fortune had a heart change, they would change the world by their witness.

If those who provide the killing of unborn to scared vulnerable young ladies or those who just want a way out, had a heart change, abortion clinics would close.

If those who found themselves in an unplanned pregnancy had a heart change, there would be no need for abortions.

If the senators and representatives of our Nation and State had a heart change, they would be able to govern in a way to benefit the people of this nation, laying politics aside.

If spouse and children abusers and those who neglect their families had a heart change, dfacs would not be needed and the family unit would be secure.

If those who are causing destruction and harm from their violence had a heart change, they would be filled with peace instead of anger!

I could go on, but you get the picture!!

The bottom line here is that people’s hearts are what is on the line here. Not just for this world but for eternity.

May I tell you that you as a living breathing active Christian are the instrument to effect change in our world!

Matthew 5:16 (KJV)
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Ephesians 6:6 (KJV)
Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

1 Peter 2:9 (KJV)
 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

John 3:16 (KJV)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Romans 10:10 (KJV)
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

John 12:46 (KJV)
 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

Mark 7:21-23 (KJV)
²¹ For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
²² Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
²³ All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

John 14:27 (KJV)
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

THE WORLD NEEDS A HEART CHANGE AND WE ARE THE AGENTS!

Billy Graham was asked once why he did not run for president of the United States of America.  His reply: “I have a higher calling!”.

May we understand we have a high calling to spread light into darkness!

Father, we are the instrument of change in our world.  May each of us step up and take our place as a light pointing others to a changed heart.  When we shine bright, hearts will change and true, real, good, and loving change will be seen! In Jesus name I ask! Amen

Heart change: let it start in us.   Love, MeMaw
