CHANGING YOUR WORLD

READ: 1Corinthians 13:1-7

 

A young woman lived in a home where She she was very unhappy often complained for her friends and told them how difficult it was for her to stay there. She blamed her parents and the other members of her family for her discontent and threatened to move out as soon as she could afford to be on her own. One day, though, her face was graced with a happy smile. Gone was her usual glum expression. Her eyes were sparkling. There was a spring in her step. When a friend noticed the difference, she exclaimed, “Things must have improved at home. Im so glad!” “No” the young woman responded, “Im the one who is different!” That young womans outlook was brighter and her relationship with others were transformed. It wasnt because her circumstances had improved, but because she had experienced a change in her heart. When we are confronted with irritating situations and we begin to feel sorry for ourselves, we should ask these questions: Is the trouble really with others? or could it be me? As we ask the Lord to fill us with His perfect love, Its amazing how life begins to look better. Letting God changed us is the best way to changed our world.

Lord take my Life and make it wholly Thine; Fill my poor heart with thy great love divine. Take all my will, my passion,self, and pride; I now surrender Lord – in me abide
