Introduction to Change

Change has come over me, a change that I can’t explain. A change that is expending the expectation I have for the God in me. This change is not of the physical matter, but of the spiritual. How can this be, why now? When growing up in the church we experience a lot of different changes. Some that easily come and some that are mind blowing. For the longest time I couldn’t even imagine my-self living on my own, doing things by my-self. But by the grace of God I am. My life has not been hard (trying maybe). Dealing with flesh, trying to be whole, and living in a world that is not to open to young people standing for Christ. Yes I am a preacher’s kid, a P.K. for short, but I am not the stereotypical one. I’ve been serving God my whole life giving my-self away, knowing that my purpose is in Christ and that God has given me a special gift to draw people to Him. When serving God there is a time of change where people have to sow, reap, cry, laugh, love, and hate (Ecclesiastes 3). My change has come. God gives us all a token of faith and faith is a part of the change that comes through Christ. From a boy looking for a voice, too a teenager trying to love too young, to a young man trying to be whole in holiness in a crazy world. In our life spiritual change gives way to new possibilities in life. Leaving past relationships, hurt, and temptations behind…. And coming out of the comfort zone that our minds set up for us. “Change has come over me” is not just about struggles, it’s about victories and the impacts that God has made on my life. Greatness is all in the process of the change, when God is revealing himself to us. In the revealing of God we find that greatness is just around the corner, that if we work the works that God has put inside of us we will be able to reach the masses with ease. The bible say he called the young because they are strong and the old because they are wise. To be able to lead other in their change in Christ we have to start now by being strong in Christ, unmovable. Change is exciting and causes us to worship and praise God even more, giving Him all that He deserves.
