"People are very open-minded about new things as long as they're exactly like the old ones."
Unknown



It was once said that the only people who like change are babies in wet diapers. In spite of our desires, there is really nothing in this world that stays the same for long.  Plants are either growing or dying.  In the long run rust, sun and decay take care of just about everything that is created. 

Steve Job of Apple said:  "No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It's life's change agent; it clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now, the new is you. But someday, not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it's quite true. Your time is limited..."

It's no wonder we are not interested in change.  This I do know:  If I am not willing to experience the new and embrace change I will never really be able to experience the work of God in my life.  

The scripture says:  "Yet this I call to mind and therefore have hope: Because of the Lords' great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.  They are new every morning:  great is your faithfulness."  (Lamentations 3:21-23)

Change?  Bring it on!

  1. No wonder the Bible is such a good read! The Bible says it so much better than Steve.
    Bring it on!
    BUT - bring on hope, compassion, love, faithfulness with all things called life and change.
    Blessings to the changes in your day.
