For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than
pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who
have been trained by it.
Therefore
lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, and make straight
paths for your feet, so that what is
lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed.
Hebrews12:11-13
Jesus
calls us to follow Him and to become like Him in our actions. This is a tall order because change can be
difficult. Old habits are comfortable
and adopting new habits can be awkward.
It is like learning to use your left hand when you have been right
handed all your life – it can be done, but it requires effort.
God
knows this about us and that is why we are encouraged to make changes in those
areas of our lives where we are doing things which will in the long run be detrimental
to us.
And,
through all of this God will be there to comfort and encourage us because He
wants us to succeed.
Be
brave, dare to change.
