"Changing yourself" goes hand in hand with "Allowing the Lord to search your heart".

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

    • it is too long to read through. If GOD exits above us, HE should simply make everybody happy, why so many prayers etc. needed??? wasting time???
      • In short, He did, but man sinned.
        If you want to know more, please spend about half an hour to read the following link (Genesis 1-3) http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Gen%201-3;&version=31;
        • just want to make it simple, HE has superpower, why would he allow the mankind to sin???
          • I answered that question before, please see if this link helps.
    • 这标题似乎太唯心
      • 这个标题对于基督徒是显见的。看起来唯心,事实上不是,因为神与我们同在。先不论神,我想请你思考一个问题,物质真的能给你带来(长久)快乐吗?
    • Can I understand "change yourself" is meant to change your weakness by yourself? I deeply felt it is so hard for me to conquer myself cause the Evil knows exactly my weakness and try to utilze it to defeat me.
      It's so tiny and helpless to overcome my weakness without Lord's love, I just try to put all myself to Lord's hand, to change myself

        • Thanks Lord for sending HIS word to me. I might find my problem I can't resolve. I am not happy cause I am piling up my sadness, I didnt relfect on myself, I wanna Lord fix my problem, but did not cooporate with HIM
          Change myself need big courage, cause it's gonna paiful to overcome laziness, greedy, arrogant, proudness, selfness and sensitivity
          • We all have our own problems. So you are not alone. Don't take on many problems at the same time, it's a recipe for sadness. Instead, one little step at a time. God knows what you can do and what you cannot do, and He will guide all your ways.
