Well, this one sounds interesting. When I post this topic to my wall in my Facebook, I’m so glad actually many friends agree to what we call changes. I want to change too. And I need changes in my life. Read through their comment and suggestion.
Me: “Everyone change...bad to good...good to bad...even tree change too.. We need to learn to accept changes in everyone's life..but when we accept it, guide too. Maybe hard to accept changes, but be quick to listen and slow to act. Don't rush in everything we do. Owest listen to the good side in ourself..”
Agustina Balan, Esther Lika Awie and Cara Gilbert Taylor like this.

Me: hehe..true augustina..agree with u..
Cara Gilbert Taylor: Yup..agree also wit her...:-) changes make us grow in faith oso..
Rome 12:2 stated that, be transform not according to this world, but we transform because of your renewing mind. When I had a bad moment where the my spirit getting weak, I always think that I’m not that worth to be involve in ministry. When I think of all the mistakes I did in the past, this thought always controlling my mind and saying that I’m not worth, useless and stop what u involve in. This conflict within me make someone close to me, “slap me in the face” and actually make me think about it. That someone, taught me to always recheck myself and seek what is not right with me.
The other problem is, sometime or most of the time people around us didn’t understand us and hard to accept that we change. According to Agustina comment, people will think that we are hiding something. Personally I will feel hurt when people around us think that way about us. Especially when that person is someone close to us such as our parent, sibling and probably our friends. Slowly we face it, like Cara’s comment it make us grow in faith.
When we think of the past, and never let the past cause us to weak. Keep showing up the changes, but not to fanatically or aggressively. But with God’s love and God’s grace. Jesus was push in His own city. Not accepted by His own people because people not agree that He as a son of carpenter is someone in Old Testament prophecy as a Messiah. He was rejected because people didn’t accept of who Jesus is. But what He did is, slowly He minister to them, show them love, passion and grace. And we know after that, many people follow Him and listen to His sermon.
Jesus also gives opportunity to the thief who is crucified with Him. When that thief admits his wrong and acknowledge Jesus, Jesus said “…u will be with me…”. I think we should take Jesus as an example. He came to this world not only to prove to people that God exist and God care about people. But God come to this world, in human form who we call Jesus Christ to teach us how to love in this world and get along to each other, so that we will love as a happy community and enjoy our life as a Christian in this world.
Changes are the best thing ever happen to someone’s life and in our life. When we change already and when we look back to the past, most probably we will smile remembering our mistake or silly thing we ever did. J Have a nice day and stay blessed!Bottom of Foren
