It's a new year. No new resolutions - I don't do that stuff. I figure, if you're gonna make a promise to change, you shouldn't wait until New Year's. It's probably stuff you already should have been doing anyway. Not that I don't want to better myself. I do. It's just that I have discovered that I really can't change me. Only God can, and He does it in His own time. I love that. He can't be hurried, and He's never late. Not for one second, either way.
HE is on the throne. Yesterday, today, and forever. How comforting that thought is! I can't control a thing, and when I try I only mess it up anyway.
My part in all this is to be open and willing to be changed. Conformed, really. His goal remains the same: conform me into the image of Christ. Oh, some days there seems to be so much in me in need of conforming! sigh. Keeping my eyes on the prize: the upward call of Jesus in my life. That is what change is all about.
