Locked up...You Won't Let You Out!

Sitting in a friend's office the other day, I read this:


People are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves...therefore, they remain bound.


It's one thing to talk about changing, but our actions sometimes say otherwise. We work to change our jobs, the way we look, how we live, how much money we spend, the company we keep. We are quick to say that "God is closing our circle" OR "God is removing those people from my life that need to be removed." But how much time do we work on improving SELF?

Several times a week, I find myself quoting portions of Psalm 51 - Create in me a clean heart. Renew a right spirit in me. Purge me with hyssop. Wash me, so that I may be whiter than snow. It all starts here...with me. I know that in my transformation, change is necessary. But it doesn't do any good to change on the outside if the inside is the same. Whew....

You want to really get free? Then stop talking about it and BE ABOUT IT! When you start improving and working on yourself, then you will notice your circumstances changing. They have to :) Take responsibility and stop blaming everyone else. Look at the man/woman in the mirror and make some adjustments. Then you'll notice that there will be literally something on the inside working on the outside...that won't allow you to hold your peace!!!

Have a blessed and prosperous week!
