THE SECRET TO EFFECTIVE CHANGE: A CALL BY GRACE
I was going through a terrible time; psychologically,
emotionally, physically and mentally. I could not put my acts together. There
is only one way I knew how to get through this situation, flirt. This feeling
wasn’t new to me, I’ve experienced it a couple of times. Flirting takes my mind
of things like this . . it gets me distracted. That’s one way to get through this.
I did what i knew how to do best, flirt, but I wasn’t feeling any
different . . . Yes! I was distracted but I needed a lasting solution. I
approached the girl, apologized and told her I wasn’t interested. I didn’t
know of any solution at this point. I am not one of those that fancy churches;
I don’t used to go to church. I don’t like sharing with people; I don’t
think there is anything they can say that I haven’t heard. In search of a
solution, I traveled to a place where I could be alone. I stayed there for a
couple of weeks while trying different ways to solve my problems. Nothing seems
to work, so I decided to travel back. On my way back, I had a miracle. I met
Jesus on the way.
When we don’t know God and the extent of his power, we do
things the way we know best. If the problem persist, we
are good at coming up with several back up plans. We are good at taking
decisions but not the perfect solution.
By asking Jesus for help, we admit to our own inadequacies. He will not come
to us unless we seek Him. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life; no
one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). Furthermore, Christ
said, “my peace I give to you, not as the world gives. Let not your heart be
troubled, neither it be afraid” (John 14:27).
When we choose to let God take charge, His peace calms our
troubled mind. We can walk boldly through the valley of the shadow of death
because we know He is control.
