things they are a changin' (by randi)

Do not fear change, for I am making you a new creation, with old things passing away and new things continually on the horizon.  When you cling to old ways and sameness, you resist My work within you. ---JESUS CALLING

...if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come.  ---2 Corinthians 5:17

Is it possible that I have slowed down God's work in my life over the years simple because it was NEW?

It is CHANGE.

And guess what? I don't like change.  Most people don't.  Most of us cling to old ways in spite of the fact that they keep bringing the same stale results.

If the old is gone and new has come, shouldn't I expect change---shouldn't I welcome it?

The days, months and years following a divorce are an eye-opening time, to say the least.  You are presented with your side of the equation in a pretty stark way.  It's a necessary revelation, but not an easy one to swallow.

These days, I am learning new ways to operate within my relationships.  And guess what?  Some of them are great and I love them!

Others?

Not so great.  Not so easy.

Simply because they are new---CHANGE---they are hard.  And somewhat aggravating.  But they are my ticket to healthy relationships in my future.

See, I am doing a new thing!  Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?  ---Isaiah 43:19

HE is going a new thing.

And I perceive it!

Today's topic: What new things are taking place in your life.  Are you resisting or allowing for those changes?
