CHANGE IS UP TO YOU!!

How often have you been unhappy about something you were or were doing? My doctor was unhappy about my weight on my last visit. We set a six months goal to see some reduction. The only way to lose weight is to make a choice to lose weight. If you are unhappy about areas of your life it requires making a choice to change in order to see results. Change requires making choices. It’s not enough to dream of changing. It’s not enough to desire change. To change, you need to make a decision. You must choose to change. You have to put off the old desires and begin with new ones. (Ephesians 4:22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;) These changes will only happen if you choose to change, because change doesn’t happen accidentally. Change requires a choice. It’s like swinging on a trapeze. The trapeze artist swings out on one bar and then has to reach out and grab the other one. At some point, he’s got to let go of one to grab on to the other, or he’s not going to make it to the other side. If he thinks he can hold on to both, what happens? He gets stuck in the middle, and he’s going to fall. Don’t get stuck in the middle. Make up your mind to change. You will love the new you. Pastor Don [image: image.png]
