Maybe what needs to change is our mindset about change. Maybe change isn\u2019t so bad after all; it\u2019s just the way we view it that needs a little tweaking.<\/p>\n
Albert Einstein said, \u201cNothing happens unless something is moved.\u201d<\/p>\n
When you reflect on your life, consider how God may have redirected things without your approval. You can usually find the growth in those situations. If life didn\u2019t change, would you be growing like you are? If you weren\u2019t thrust into tough situations, would God be able to mold and develop you into the Christian you need to be?<\/p>\n
What if we looked at change as a good thing? Instead of trying to hold tight to everything, welcome the change as it comes. Look at the alterations as a blessing for us to continue through God\u2019s plan for our life.<\/p>\n
When change comes, try to find the opportunities. What openings have now been created? Our mindsets are a tough thing to change, but it\u2019s possible.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe secret of change is to focus all your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.\u201d (Socrates)<\/p>\n
\u201cTherefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! (2 Corinthians 5:17)<\/p>\n
Take your resistance with change to God. Pray for His help in changing your mindset regarding the variation life might bring your way. He is there to guide you as you develop a new way of viewing change. I\u2019m not saying this will be easy, but it\u2019s possible.<\/p>\n
Here is to facing change head-on and embracing the learning opportunities and growth that God has ordained for us.<\/p>\n
