You are correct - change is difficult. But change is often necessary in order to prepare us for things to come. We need to pray that we are open to change, and willing to change so that we are able to live more fully with Christ and then to be Christ to others. What will happen to you if Jesus does come and His Spirit changes you? You will then be a new creation in Christ. You will be able to live as Jesus wants you to live: by loving one another, caring for one another, and spreading the Gospel by the way you live our life. However, if we expect this kind of change, we need to be open and have the strength to WANT to change. And that is not easy. It means that we have to sometimes make sacrifices in order to put the needs of others before our own. It means that we sometimes may face ridicule or criticism from others because of the choices that we make. It means that we must be witnesses of Christ to everyone we meet. Change is difficult, but change is necessary. Embrace change, and let God enter your heart and fill you with his love each and every day of your life. May God bless you.]]></description>
