A transformational change

1 Thessalonians 4 verses 11 and 12> This should be your ambition in life: to live a quiet life, minding your own business and doing your own work following after Jesus. As a result, people who are not Christians will trust and respect you and you will not need to depend on others for enough money to pay your bills.

 There are so many things I could compare transformational change to, but lets look at the seed, once put into the ground it becomes a plant or a flower. Or how about a butterfly, it was once a caterpillar which becomes a beautiful insect. Or how about people, once we are conceived we become full grown adults. What ever the miracle of life is, the joy of watching it come to be is God's gift to us. With the world and our bodies as intricate as they are, God enjoys what He creates and we also know that our time to enjoy God's world is short. It is so easy to get caught up in the busyness of living. Sleeping, eating and working can easily consume us causing us to be blind to all the beauty there is. That is why change is needed so that we get the fullness of who we are as God's children in His world. God sees our distractions and so He sent Jesus to tell us, that because the lives we are living we are missing out on giving all the praise and glory to our Father.
I was stuck in the circle of life, always starting over, never satisfied. I knew there was a better life so I turned to God's words printed in the bible and like all that God touches I was transformed. It is because of Jesus that our eyes can be opened to see the beauty of God in all that is around us. I thank God each day for the joy of experiencing His blessings.
I read today about the word "overflow" and how it can cause a spill and a mess to be cleaned up or like a waterfall we can be refreshed by it. When we are changed from our old ways, our lives can become overflowing with the happiness of God and His love. Jesus fills our lives with the glory of God and God's Holy Spirit brings joy to our hearts in all we do. We overflow with song and praise which others hear and see, so the affect of our change touches those around us also.
Thank-you Father for your son Jesus and your love in our lives. 😊 

Isaiah 40 verse 29> God gives power to the tired and worn out, and strength to the weak.

Enjoy the day the Lord has made.
