Thought 24: Change

Change is the difference between was and isChange is not where you are coming from but where you are going
Change is taking courage to be what you have never been before
Change is giving up your old self, making room for a clean slate
Change is giving God your mistakes, your failures, your past
In exchange for wisdom, strength, a future that is forever
Change is the unknown
Not knowing whether He will be with you when you make that choice to choose Him
Not knowing whether you want to loose your home girls,
your home boys that you've known ever since you were five
for The Friend who knows your beginning to your end,
your pain to your healing,
your sin to your salvation
Not knowing whether to stop loving that tune that makes your heart swell with emotion
as it ridicules the real love that Jesus showed you
when those nails pierced his skin whilst looking into your eyes mouthing "This is for you"
Not knowing how Jesus in Heaven lived as Prince,
a King,
a God
Saw a need within us
A need for a Saviour
So He traded
NO!
He made the choice to CHANGE His environment,
chose to leave His Fathers glory,
His home
to come to this earth so that you
Can refuse Him
Can ridicule Him
Can disbelieve Him
Cling to your addiction to this world which does not last
This world whose glories, whose pleasures are but for a moment
This world which thrives on addicts
Addicts of (Enter your lust here)
Refusing to acknowledge the power of the blood of Jesus Christ the Messiah
Refusing to believethat the devil is real
The devil is as real as those lustful thoughts that enter your mind filling it with darkness
Making you assume that you are in control, oh how he easily fooled are you!
But we make his work easier when we think it's easier to believe he is not there
He doesn't need you to believe in him... He needs you to disbelieve in HIM.
The devil caresses your most sinful desires
But thats okay right?
It brings you happiness [short lived]
but doesn't God want you to be happy?
I mean so what if you are replacing the WORLDS creations and putting the name 'Christian' on it, it makes it Godly right ?
See, the devil knows hes going to cease to exist, but he needs you to NOT see what is real
As he clouds your mind enticing you to join him
And join him blindly you do, allowing him to seduce you slowly
Giving you empty fuel for your yearning soul
Soul that needs to be healed from the pain that man caused as he molested you physically when you were but a child
Soul that needs to be protected from all the explicit imagery being filled within your mind through porn addiction
Soul that needs (Enter your pain here)

Soul that needs change
Change is making a journey from your old past to your new future
Change is having the answer to a simple question:
Do you want to make a change for Jesus today?
