Change is the law of the universe. Without change, the world would not merely remain in a static state, but it would soon become stale and stagnant. Without change there would be no progress, for change is the essence of betterment. It is obvious that to do anything in a new and better way there must be a change.
Many people look upon change with dread and foreboding. But for those on the spiritual path, for those who believe in God and the power of prayer, change is a fuller expression of life.
When a problem or condition arises in your life that indicates a change, rely upon God, and realize that it is not so much that a door has closed on a chapter of your life, but rather that a door has opened on new and more interesting things.
Behold, I make all things new (Revelation 2:15)
How often would we change if we were not forced to do things differently? And, if we never changed, how would we get better or progress to higher levels of spirituality or consciousness? The answers are not much and we wouldn’t. In fact, not only is change required, but so are the challenges that make us change, grow and progress.
Does the caterpillar really want to leave its safe cocoon, or the the child its comforting womb. From the sound a newborn makes, I suspect not. However, life itself depends upon each person being thrust into a cold and glaring world of risk, challenge and change.
Yet, there is another world of peace, comfort and safety that we can inhabit if we correctly face change, obstacles and things that cause us to grow. That world is opened to us when we turn to God in times of uncertainty, fear or upheaval in our lives. It is a world of joy and gladness that no problem or challenge can take from us. It is a world that embraces change and in which we are grateful and thankful for everything that comes into our lives.
This world is the garden God created for us. We live their when we let meekness, humility, love and faith drive our lives, thoughts, words and deeds. The door to this world is only locked for those who do not believe. For those who do turn to God, this world turns all obstacles into to springboards and every closed door into a wonderful new opportunity.
Let us all enter this garden today and let us view change as a gift that ensures our growth and our development into the happy joyful creatures that God created us to be.
Springing forward,
