How Could You?

“Oh my goodness; when are they going to change”?

I know I have said this before about a relative, a co-worker, or a friend. It just dawned on me that I am focused on what was instead of what could be.

It’s important to see the good in everyone and pray for those who have areas in their life that is hindering them from growth. But what is more important, is to allow God to change you!

People notice growth by your actions. For example: how you carry yourself, the kindness you show those you used to detest. Yes, you have had someone you detested! Now, you can be in their presence and even enjoy their company. That’s God! He has done a change in you and NOW, you can see the change in others that before was blocked by your inconsistent emotions and dislike~ not theirs!

And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. Among them we too allformerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we weredead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassingriches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:1-7 NASB
