Change is GOOD...right?

Don't you just love change? Well, I am not a huge fan of change, but sometimes it is a really good thing!
Here in Western New York we have definitely had a change in seasons. Temperatures have drop, considerably, and the snow has fallen...and there is much more to come I'm sure. I have just moved from one house to another on the same property. And...it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, my favorite celebration of all.
It's time to celebrate the greatest gift ever given to mankind - that precious little baby that was wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. The Savior of the world came to bring about change in the hearts of all mankind. About 30 years after His birth that Savior said these words:

John 14:6 "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life - NO ONE comes to the Father except through Me." Now that statement requires a total change for every man, woman and child. On our own we cannot ever have a relationship with God because we will never be "good enough." We can't earn our way or work our way or do anything on our own strength and power to reach God or heaven. What we must do is accept that gift given by God and change or repent of our sins and turn from our sin and live for God.
That's the change that for all of us that is difficult. Why? Because we are sinners and we have a nature that we were born with desires to do things that are contrary to God's way of doing things. It is a battle every single day to do what's right in God's eyes. But I believe it is a battle that we can win with the help of God's Holy Spirit.
Is it time for you to "change" and allow God to be the focus of your life? Things don't magically become perfect but let me tell you from personal experience: Being a follower of Jesus Christ is the greatest life EVER!
I pray during this Christmas season you find out the Truth for yourself if you haven't already, and give your life to the One who created you!
