CHANGE:
We don't like it when our hair changes color or when we can't do all the things we could do in our younger days. We don't seem to tolerate change well in whatever form it comes. There are a lot of changes we have no control over. The reality is you are going to get older, not be able to do as much as you used to, and your hair will change color.
I know I'm not a huge fan of change but I have learned early on that I can fight it or I can compromise with it. Not long ago I stopped perming my hair and someone asked me why I started straightening it. I told them that my hair has always been straight and I had been paying for those curls. Now was the time that I decided to stop fighting God over the curls. If He wanted me to have curls He would have given them to me long ago.
Why are we find change so abhorent? I looked the word "Change" up in the dictionary to see what describes change. My favorite was "to transform".
So maybe "change" is all in the way we look at things. Do we fight it or do we make the transformation with grace? None of us are promised tomorrow so why not make peace with today and see what God has given us that we are trying to change.
There was an expression when I was in college "Let Go and Let God". I like that. How about we let God make a transformation in us today?
