Change

Two things we should not forget about change; (a) change starts from within (b) change takes time.

Many times we think we can change other people when we really can't. We think we change them by criticizing and condemning them or by appraising and commending them. But cannot. Its not in our power to change people. We can't even change that little bad habit that plagues us and we set about changing an entire personlity - a complex interaction of background, environment, upbringing and temperament not to mention that the personality is not even ours. Its someone else's! The power to change comes from God and God alone. He is our maker, He made us and if He made us, then He can change us.

As I stated earlier, change comes from within. It goes from inside out. We are first of all changed, then we can go about changing other people.
