From today’s devo:

“Repentance is a much-maligned word. It sounds so hard and painful, even condemning. Those connotations don’t go over well in a laid-back, life’s-a-beach culture of tolerance like ours. Repentance implies that something is wrong with us and we’re going to have to deny ourselves something we treasure in order to change.

….Our Potter’s grand design depends on the malleability of His clay (us). If we are too stiff and unyielding. God has no compassionate alternative to informing us of our impending uselessness-the disaster the prophets proclaimed. If we accept the warning, however, we become soft and easy to reshape, and the Potter enjoys us again. He always has a good plan for clay that bends.

Are there any areas in which your heart needs to bend? Yes, it sounds painful, but the alternative is for worse. Softening the substance of your life makes the Potter delightfully willing to make something beautiful. His blessings come to those who bend.”

As I like to say it:

It’s easy to say “I’m a Christian”, but it’s not easy to show “I’m a Christian”

I wonder, how many of us can show we’re Christian’s without us telling people we are?
Change is never easy, that I think we can all agree on, but as I’ve said before, if we understand where God is coming from here, and actually take it to heart, then something should change, even if it’s small.

Change doesn’t happen overnight, and each of us grow at different rates.

I pray I can yield to God’s will when he asks.
