“CHANGE!”

Me-Maw Thoughts

Number 560

January 4, 2022///

This time of year, you hear a lot about change. Changing habits, cleaning out clutter, making better choices, and on and on it goes. We all know that New Year’s resolutions are many times just New Year’s hopes.

Today I want to share with you the truth that you can have a new beginning anytime you come to Jesus and allow Him to change your desires to His plans, your thoughts to His thoughts, and your ways to letting Him live through you.

I truly believe in making changes. I am sold on evaluating the past and learning from it and adjusting our lives accordingly. I believe in looking responsibly at our situations and making the changes needed and the beginning of the year is a good time to do this.

However, we must realize that the word says:

Lamentations 3:22-24 (KJV)
²² It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
²³ They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

When we come to the Father in Jesus name and ask Him to help us do what we are responsible to do, to let others see Jesus in us, and change in us the things that are not lined up with the word, we see a new life, new day, and a new us!

For those who have never accepted Jesus as Savior, coming to Him changes us into a new creation! Old things pass away! For those who have been a Christian a short or long time, change can happen for the good consistently in your life!

When we allow the Spirit of God to touch our lives we are changed from glory to glory.

When we come with our desperate needs to Jesus, we can experience change in a moment.

Lot us look at some of the people changed in the Bible and as I remind you of these, think about how radical their life changed!

The wedding host witnessed Jesus first miracle, provision!

Peter, James, and John followed when He called, and their lives were never the same!

The lame man borne by his friends and let through the roof, walked out carrying his mat!

The woman with the issue of blood for twelve years was healed instantly!

Matthew, the hated tax collector became a disciple of Jesus!

Mary Magdalene was delivered of demons!

Paul was changed from a persecutor to a promoter of the Gospel!

Lepers were cleanse, blind healed, and hearts turned to God!

The woman caught in the act of adultery was set free from sin and punishment!

The multitudes were fed, healed, Blessed, and changed through believing and calling out to Jesus!

Lazarus was changed from dead to alive!

The thief on the cross received new life!

What change do you need in your life! Come to Jesus!

2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Ephesians 4:24 (KJV)
And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Change, real change comes when we acknowledge Jesus is Lord and come to Him with all our faults and failures and let Him change us from the inside out!

Relationships, work situations, parenting, health, provisions, attitude, forgiveness, habits, and any other part of our life that needs changing: coming to Jesus with these can make real and lasting changes. 

This can happen today, or anytime you decide you are tired of being like you are in some areas. Just come to Jesus and ask Him to mold you into a usable vessel and use you to expand His Kingdom on earth!

Father, in Jesus’ name I come! Thank you that you change us from the inside out and make us vessels of honor. Thank you that you never get tired of your children coming to you with their needs! May each of us follow you and make lasting changed in our lives. Amen

Let God continually mold and change you!

Love, MeMaw
