What I am thinking about, is positive change. God inspired change. The changes we love as He works deep in our souls. The changes that make us more of Him and less of us. LESS of me! I think as much as I hate labels I still tend to cling to my favorites.
"I'm an introvert."
"I don't like speaking up!"
I often cling to things I think are part of my personality when He is trying to USE me for His plan. And sometimes that requires changing who I am. What parts of your personality to you cling to?
Sometimes it requires stepping out. Letting go of your own labels.
Sometimes it requires sacrificing who I want to be seen as, to be who He wants to be seen as in me.
He wants to transform me.
He is more interested in who I am becoming than in what I am doing.
While I am thinking about my circumstances, He is thinking about my transformation.
(Maybe my circumstances are there for the very purpose of my need for transformation and change.)
Yes, he made me unique and special and He wants me to "just be me", but may I never use that as an excuse not to change who I am, for Him.
What does He say to be?
