A Lifetime of Change
As my child, you need to know that when you asked Jesus into your heart, you signed up for a lifetime of training in change. From the moment you said yes to me, a process of development and advancement began. Whether you were aware of it or not, you entered what would be a continual state of transitioning into my image. Hence, change is a natural state for the believer because you cannot be made over without it.
You’ve been struggling with a long standing issue that is once more manifesting in your life. And you are asking me, “Why is this happening again?”
Your inner self is telling you it’s time to address the matter. While you are suffering quietly, I am speaking loudly. Nothing will change if you don’t change something. Ask me to direct you specifically as to what steps you need to take; I will show you the way. Your obedience will bear good fruit.
Why? First of all, the fear and anxiety behind this issue has to be eliminated. Have you ever thought that perhaps you are more afraid of being changed than of change itself? You will only overcome a problem by meeting it head on. I will work in you as you are working it out.
Secondly, growth comes when you choose to embrace change; don’t fight it. I will give you the grace to do whatever it takes. As you become freed up you will notice new doors opening which will lead you into new and fulfilling experiences. You may discover your true life’s purpose while navigating through it. Don’t worry, there’s really nothing to lose; it’s not as risky as you think.
Lastly, when you take courageous steps to deal with any kind of pain or discomfort, your relationship with me will become deeper and more intimate. The Holy Spirit is ever by your side cheering you on and always ready to comfort and encourage you. As you learn to lean on me throughout this challenge, you will see how good I am.
Remember that this red flag is not for your evil but rather for your good. My desire is for you to be whole in every area of your being so you can take advantage of the abundant life I have for you. I love to make all things new. We will do it together!
