Rom. 12:1-2; 2 Cor. 3:12-18 - Suppose you could change anything anpboit yourself, where would you start? Lots of us would start? Lots of us would start on the outside. Would you be…skinnier? Taller? Shorter? Better looking? Would you change…your eyes? Your hair? Your teeth? Your legs? Your bulges? But as hard as it is to change on the outside, it seems infinitely harder to change on the inside. If there is anything we know about human nature, it is that people change slowly, if they change at all. What would you change about yourself on the inside if you could? Impatient spirt? Critical tongue? Lingering resentment? Judgmental spirit? Lust? Quick Temper? Ungrateful spirit?
Recognizing a need for change isn’t always an easy exercise, especially when one doesn’t believe they are in need of change. God wants you to continue becoming more like Him. Change is a critical step in this process. We spend far too much time praying, "God, change my circumstances...change my coworkers...change my family situation...change the conditions in my life..." Yet we seldom pray this most important prayer: "Change me, Lord. The real trouble isn't my spouse, my sibling, my friend. I'm the one who stands in need of prayer." You will never receive deliverance unless You change. Your life will only become more chaotic, and your situation will worsen. Stop building your case, pointing your finger, justifying yourself. God won't meet you until you wake up and admit, "Nothing is going to change for me, unless I'm changed."
