| Changing Your Mind |
|
| ¡°Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Ame.¡± ( Ephesians 3:20~21 , NIV ) |
|
So often I feel God urging me to keep on with the work because of the covenant I made to love and labor in His kingdom. Just as the son changed his mind and went to the vineyard, my mind and my heart change. As a young adult I committed to making Jesus the Lord of my life. Within a short time after my baptism, I discovered that to live each day as an ¡°imitator of God¡± required a daily response from my heart to God. Many days I must change my mind as I respond and say, ¡°Yes, Lord.¡±
Sometimes I experience seasons of rebellion and doubt. My responses are weak and strong, proud and humble, bold and meek. The Lord gently opens my eyes and my heart to show me the sincere response He is patiently waiting for. And then comes a day when I respond with, ¡°Yes, Lord.¡± Joy follows this simple, daily trust.
The changeless God accepts the changed hearts of His children. I am grateful and encouraged that each day He accepts my renewed, fresh response. |

Dear Father, we praise You for Your patience as You wait for us to continually change our minds and our hearts for You and Your Kingdom work. We are humbled by Your mercy. We are awed by Your grace. In Jesus¡¯ name. Amen. - GINA LEWIS, Abilene, Texas |
