You’ve changed, but you’re really no different…

Everyday we are changing whether we know it or not. But to God we are no different. Those who have placed their faith in His Son have always been and always will be perfect in His sight. His Holy Spirit has been sent to help us change, but we only change into the person God has already made us to be. On the flip side, God never changes, yet He is all the difference in our lives. God can’t change! He is perfect, so to change would mean a different need. God meets all needs, at all times simultaneously without ever having to adjust who He is. God says cooperate with His changes in our lives, but leave the difference up to Him. Yet, from His perspective He says, He’ll work on being our difference while he never changes toward His promises or us. Today you will change my friend, but ultimately, you are no different. God will not change at any point in this day; yet, He will make all the difference in your world. Have a blessed day!!!

WHEN THINGS DON’T WORK OUT!

When things don’t work out the way we think they should, we may be wrong about how we think things should work out. We often know far to little about the way the future turns out in order to make perfect decisions today.

When things don’t work out, it could be that there is another way of getting it done. Or, it could mean that there is something ahead totally different and even better (or for that matter worse).

When things don’t work out, that sometimes means things may get worse before they get better. But sometimes the getting worse actually turns out better for us in the end. When things don’t work out, it’s all the more reason to begin to look at things from another perspective.

When things don’t work out, we often respond with fear because we cannot control the outcome. Control is one of the biggest deceptions among mankind. To actually think that we can control every facet of our lives is tomfoolery. There are so many facets and intricate details to the human make up, psyche, emotions, body and soul, that it is absolutely foolish to think our small decisions in the day can actually control another’s actions, let alone our actions.

So just remember, when things don’t work out, it simply means, there is more to it than you may not be aware of. But God willing, there will come another day, another shrivel of evidence, in new open door, a new lead, a new contact to resurge hope. Just know that all the pieces aren’t in place yet. So before you throw away the puzzle, just for the moment, get a glimpse of what you think it should look like, and in the end watch how close your picture turns out to your vision, even though things didn’t work out!

“And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them (Romans 8:28 New Living Translation).”
