The Change I Desire Most

My address is changing. My hairstyle just changed—again. My plans have changed. The current eight-week theme at my new church is about change. My dress size just changed (for the better)! My goals have changed. My desires have changed.

It’s clearly a season of change.

Yet in the midst of outward change, I’m finding that the most important change of all is not around me. In fact, it’s not even the changes about me.

The most important change of all is the change that I desire to have within me:

An all-encompassing love for God; a greater eagerness to follow Him than to lead others; a sincere contentment in His plan, in His time, and in His way; a commitment to Him that won’t waver; a prayer life that weaves my heart together with God’s heart; a longing for Him above all others; and a hunger for His Word that transforms my heart beyond recognition.

Lord, change me.

    God bless you, Brenda. I agree with this blog! And want those kind of changes for me. I am reading through the Bible this year as an agent for change. Hello to your sweet parents. Love, Gayle
