Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. James 1:22
I have one more to go, so I’ll make these last blogs personal.
The most effective means to the end
of personal permanent change for me is hearing and doing life changing
truth! Every time I’ve heard a mesmerizing
truth, one that immediately changes my perception of reality, I apply it to me
immediately. It then becomes a part of
me, as much of who I am as my DNA is. When
that happens, I don’t have to think about change or habits or making myself
do something. The change has taken place
on the deepest level. I’ll never be
the same.
Think of the most recent life changing
truth you’ve heard or read or experienced. Maybe it came from reading my
blogs. Perhaps you saw an impactful
movie. Or maybe you read a novel with a
character so compelling that you felt you knew him or her. Whatever truth made so much of an impact on your
life that you forever thought differently, act on that truth, or recommit to
acting on it. Be new, or commit to renew
your focus on that life changing truth.
After all, Jesus said those who
stayed connected to His words would be His true followers, and the truth of His
words would set them free from sin, from addiction, from regret.
So remember some truth that changed
your mind immediately, and choose to act upon that truth right now. What you may find is
that your life already expresses this truth without you realizing it. This should encourage you to believe that you
are no where near as far from your goal of change as you thought.
