I tell you there is more joy in heaven over one sinner who changes his heart and life, than over ninety-nine good people who don't need to change.
Luke 15:7

I'd like to think that we all want to change our lives for the better, getting rid of old hate, bad intentions, and thoughts that are not of God. Things that give us heaviness and burden that conquer our days. Start a new direction and change for a better you this week.

The only way we can change is to repent, putting our big pride aside, confess our sins and admit that we have fallen short. Truly, there's no other way around it. If we open our hearts willingly trusting God will give us the change of heart that we are longing for, He can truly give us the grace to change. Since God wants for all of us to be one body in Christ, keep in mind that every time we change our selves applying God's teachings in our walk in life, the world is one step closer to becoming a better place for all, one step closer to becoming one body in Christ.

Every situations and problems in life come to us with each own sets of difficulties. At times based upon how many of these you receive or experienced in any given week, it could truly bring a dark cloud above your heads, so to speak, if we’re not careful. It usually happens just when you think your day was going so well; waking up in the morning with the bright beautiful sunshine. You got up to get the coffee maker started, putting on your favorite CD, getting in the shower humming a song or two, then right after your shower you got dressed with your newly purchased outfit and wow, you’re looking mighty sharp ready for the day! …God is good! As you’re backing out of the driveway from your garage, you hear a huge thump from under the car…ooppss!! You stopped immediately and discovered that you just ran over your kid’s bike left on the driveway just right outside the garage behind your car. To make the matter a lot worse, you ended up with a flat tire.

Can you see where this whole story is leading you? In life we supposed to experience these type situations and it will happen whether we like it or not. How we react to it will dictate what kind of day we’re going to have. If we have faith and we know that these “temporary setbacks” are only there as tools for us to learn from, our days will get brighter and you will notice your attitude with others and with life in general will change for the better. We all want to be likeable, if we like each other, then God’s mission of peace and love in the world is accomplished. It all starts from a change of attitude! Tell yourself everyday, every morning when you wake up that it’s going to be a great day no matter what and you will have a great day! Better said than done, right? Well we all have to work on it. God loves it when we have a strong faith, He blesses those who depend on Him, those who believe that He can truly calm the darkest storms life may bring. Remember the story of a man who got upset because he missed his flight and business meeting due to a flat tire. Later he found out that his flight crashed into the World Trade Center. God has his plans so we must trust.

A woman suffering hemorrhages for twelve years came up behind him and touched the tassel on his cloak. She said to herself, “if only I can touch his cloak, I shall be cured.” Jesus turned around and saw her, and said, “Courage, daughter! Your faith has saved you.” And from that hour the woman was cured.
Matthew 9:20-22

Know that God walks you through your days and He’s watchful of you and your activities. Have faith and never live your life in the dark past. Live for today knowing that a bright tomorrow awaits you.

Have a blessed week and may God be with you as you strive to become a better creation. Tomorrow is brighter than you could ever imagined!
