When you decide that you are ready to change your life and start living for Christ, you will see that you can not do the things that you use to do. If you are really living for Christ, you will not want to do the things that you use to do. Some people do not want to change because they are so use to doing things their way. Look at how you use to do things and ask yourself how far it got you. If you are still in the same place that you were last year or the year before last, then it may be time for a change. You may not feel comfortable doing things that your not use to, but these things may get you to where you need to be and where you want to be in life. If you want to get somewhere that you have never been, you have to do things that you have never done. Jesus loved us all unconditionally and HE did everything out of love. Try loving your neighbor or the poor as yourself. Go spend time with the needy or volunteer your time at the local mission. It may make you uncomfortable but it will begin to do something on the inside of you that will start to change the way you think and act. If you want to get out of situations that seem to have you trapped, you have to learn to be comfortable being uncomfortable. Pray to the Lord for strength and courage and believe that HE will give it to you and you will eventually see that it is not so uncomfortable doing something different.
Ephesians 5: 1-2
1 -2Watch what God does, and then you do it, like children who learn proper behavior from their parents. Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn't love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that.
