Sometimes I think to myself, "will this person ever change?'" And then I look at myself & my own life and remember it is possible. Change can happen. Perhaps the more appropriate question is "when will this person change?"
I come to the conclusion that people only change when they truly want to change. They change at first for themselves only because it's what's best in that period of time. Then, if they grow & develop they learn that the changing isn't even of themselves. It's of something(One) greater and they change not only for themselves but for the cause of Christ and love for others.
When real change takes place, it roots itself into us and starts a growth that's so in depth and irreversible. A chain reaction - a domino effect. The roots grow as you grow and it's a beautiful thing. You become a much brighter, more strong tree planted and your roots- they don't stop digging deep into the earth for more room- more growth. When you finally become the tall, strong and durable tree that all of the growth has produced, you're able to endure the wind, rain and just the storms in general better. You are better equipped. You're more healthy.
I want this so very much for some. My heart burns for it and my soul cries out - Father, please make their time now! Please help them to desire real change- to pursue growth and to become well rooted so that they may stand tall & know that they are able to weather the storms that come. That they will know that they have strength to overcome the mighty winds that sometimes try to blow us down and that they'll come to understand just how healthy it is to be rooted, deep into solid ground. Not by our own doing but by the planter Himself because He deeply cares to grow us and root us into Him- Rock solid and trusting foundation.
Lots of praying over different things lately. Sorry if this doesn't make sense, sometimes it's difficult to write out my heart/thoughts. :)
Love you all.
