Meditate On
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything
by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known
to God.
Philippians 4:6
Jesus
Brings Real Change
Ever tried to change a person you care
about? What we need to realize is that people are not transformed by threats or
intimidation. Neither are they transformed by nagging or wheedling. Only God
can truly transform a person.
My friend, what all the nagging,
threatening or wheedling in the world cannot do, Jesus can. And when Jesus
transforms a person, it’s the real thing. It’s not behavior modification, but
heart transformation—from inside out!
All our self-efforts to try to change a
person won’t work. Change that is brought about by our machinations and
manipulation won’t last. Maybe you have been nagging at a loved one, trying to
change him or her for the better, but with no results, and you are getting
frustrated, anxious and desperate. The best thing you can do is to let go and
let God handle it. Stop nagging and bring the matter to God in prayer, and
watch Him do a deep and perfect work in your loved one that will astound you!
