本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛It's true that it's hard to change ourselves on our own alone, we need Jesus, His Grace, His love and His guidance, like always.
In order to change yourself, the first thing you have to do is to find out what needs to be changed. For example, there are a thousand sins in my life, can I possibly change myself to get rid of them at once and be happy? No way! We need Jesus to tell us which ones He sees deserved more attention.
Now, what we think our problem is doesn't always reflect the real problem, this prevents us from changing. Take myself as an example, whenever I have some must-to-be-done things to do, I find myself ended up doing something else. A more concrete example, I have an due exam next week, I am supposed to go over the reading materials for the coming few days. Before I know it, I am playing games. Procrastination!
Why did I do that? Well, I guess study is boring. Is it really what it is? When I searched my heart and prayed about it, somewhat it was revealed to me that it wasn't because study is boring, but I was just avoiding the demanding responsibilities or tasks because they are tough, and I wasn't sure if I could handle it.
Now the real problem has been revealed, a solution can come accordingly. Whenever I have something must be done, instead of finding lame excuses for procrastination, I have to tell myself that it's hard, but I can do it if Lord strengthens me.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
