Struggles...
They're helpful ..makes you strong, makes a person persistent on something.
But Struggles must not remain to be struggles. We are to overcome them one by one. We should not allow struggles to be a "so-so" OK-OK thing. We need to CHANGE. And listen to this, this change should be from the inside. We will not expect change from the outside if we have not started it IN us. Let's say it this way: "If I change, everything will change." Unreasonable? Because when you are changed, your character is changed, when the inside has changed, it affects your perceptions. The moment these areas are renewed, it goes the same way as how you view and perceive each encounters. Let's look at one scene at home. For example in our families, we shouldn't say "i hope my mom will change, my dad, my sister, my granpa must change!" But no! It's difficult. It's too long to wait for them to change. It's impossible to change your surrounding unless you expect change from yourself. It should be from the inside. Not outside in. Tell yourself: I should change. Another one, like for example in the church, you may say "I really hope our pastor will realize this and that, i hope the worship team will change, their music will change, i hope my cell leader will change".. Again it's impossible, noting the same reason. There would be times that at some point, you pray and hope that such people will change. But dapat, change should start from us. Always be the first to change, and they will change. So...be really willing to change in every area of your life. We can't say we're successful in this area but on the other, we will be failures. No. It's not what God said. He said, we should be successful, not partial success but completely successful. To note what He said in John10:10 "...I came to give you life, and for you to have that life TO THE FULL." Reject the lie and 'just believe' His truth. Many people confess that they're Christians but inwardly/outwardly, along their Christianity, they walk as failures. Walking defeated. So we should not be contented of being a failure. We should be hopefully and faithfully walking as Christians tagged as sons and daughters of the Father. All areas should have a change. Let's put it this way...a li'l spice for the word 'change'. We should grow...mature.
..Always be the first person to change. When you are change. You will make a difference. A light makes a difference in a dark place. ...Here's a candle, place this lighted candle in a dark room. And notice how the insects fly towards it. Same is true with an individual that makes a difference. The one who has been changed from the inside. He creates a light. And the surrounding notices its spark.
"If I will change, everything will change."
It's not legalism. It's about character development.
