EFFORT

In order to change we have to make an effort. I can say all day I want to change this or that, yet until I make the effort to move in the direction of that change it will never happen.

There are many areas in my life I need to change. One is the way I speak to others. I know that I can be rough sometimes. I don't really mean anything by it, I am not trying to be mean, I just don't use the appropriate tone or word choices. Unless, I make an effort to change the way I speak to people it will not happen. I have to consciously watch my tone, and my words.

God wants us to actively change the way we live, to become more like Him. Here on earth we can never be perfect, we can make a conscious effort to move toward that perfection, to be a reflection of who God is. A reflection is never perfect either, it is close enough to see what we are meant to be. I want to make the effort to change the things in my life I know God wants me to change so that I can be a reflection of who He is.
