Got Change?

One of my church leaders recently said, "there are 3 types of people in the world; those who are willing to change, those who resist change, and those who cause change. Now ask Holy Spirit which one are you."

This really poked me. It seemed that I really had to come clean with myself in an instant. As I allowed Holy Spirit to search my heart, I was reminded that in the past there were many, many, many times where I had difficulty moving into something new or unfamiliar, but that was not the case this time. I thanked God that He was now able to move anyway He wanted to. During that time, I also was able to see that there is never a time that growth or promotion can come without CHANGE taking place. So ultimately, the Lord had brought some CHANGE into my heart which brought me from that old place to where I am now.

We must not waste our times of trial and testing. We must obtain spiritual wisdom. When Our God can trust us to walk with a submissive heart (which is a changeable heart), then He will open heaven over us and nothing will be able to stop the kingdom of God from advancing in our lives. If we resist Him and the change He's bringing to our lives, we will find ourselves ensnared by our own desires and vain thoughts.
After reading the types of people I mentioned earlier, tell me which person are you and which one do you want to become more like. I would love to hear some feedback so leave me a comment. Hint: I hope you pick the one that matches the image of Christ.
