Do you ever feel like your life is full of changes? That you cannot escape the ever changing days? Me too. Change can be good when it is the transformative change that God works in our hearts. Change can also be good when we are changing out bad habits for good ones - like eating more vegetables or drinking more water each day. Sometimes though - change can be bad for us - like when we stop caring about the people around us, or when we harden our hearts towards someone who has hurt us in the past.
Jesus tells us over and over again to forgive. To hold no grievance, to hold no grudge. If when you are searching your heart you find some hardness there, ask God to reveal to you where and when the change took place. Then ask Him to help you forgive the person that hurt you. Ask Him to forgive you for your bitterness, and let Him transform you into someone new.
Change can be a very good thing - when it comes from God.
