Changing Your Circumstances

There is so much that God wants for us, and He will give us our wants and righteous desires according to His will and in His own time. But He also wants us to put forth great effort and not just wait for our righteous wants to be granted. He wants the best for us - usually a far better life than we can imagine for ourselves. Sometimes God will even give us things that are not good for us,

especially when our hearts are fixed on those things instead of Him. With that granting comes lessons and learning experiences, and many times those lessons are brutal. Still, with the Lord's help, each of us can grow into the person we are meant to me. It is not about material possessions or status. It is about adopting a righteous and holy mindset. If we can just hold to the knowledge of all we can be and then act upon it, little by little, the Lord will bring us there. Life can and should be joyful, regardless of our circumstances, and change is always a beautiful thing when the Lord is in it.
