Really? I Mean, Really??

Are you tired of living the way you’ve been living? Do you really want improvement? Really? I mean, really?? Some of us say we want a change but then turn around and do the exact same things and hang out with the exact same people. If you want to realize how serious you are about having a better life look at it this way, if you wanted ice cream bad enough… you’d get off the couch right then and go to the store to get it. If you wanted a cigarette bad enough … even if it meant searching through countless dust bunnies under furniture to scrape up enough coins you would do it right then. Sooo, if you really want to make positive changes in your life… do it. Not tomorrow or next week, but right now.

Ohh I can hear you saying, “Come on Chelle, it’s Friday?! I’ll commit to being better on Monday.” Let’s be honest, no you won’t. If this is what you’re thinking then we’ve solved the mystery of why you’re feeling stuck in life. Friends, there will always be something you can use as an excuse to stay where you are. Whether you justify not honoring your vow to get out of debt because you got an unexpected bill, or you justify getting wasted because you received bad news, or you stay with someone you know isn’t right for you just because you don’t want to be alone. It’s not my intention to upset you but it’s just that you have so much potential and I reeeally want you to want better for yourself.

Here, let me put it a different way. If you knew you had the winning lottery ticket and you could cash it in right this instant, would you wait til Monday? Noooo, lol. So why would you waste one more minute living a subpar life when there is peace and joy right on the other side of all the excuses you’ve been using? It’s not your partner, your friends, your roommate, your boss, or your parents responsibility to make you happy or make your life improve. No sweetheart, YOU have to do it for YOU. There is good news though – you have supernatural help!

God has promised to never ask something of you without first equipping you with the ability to do it. He’s also promised to never leave you, never stop loving you, never stop providing for you. Here’s the thing, you can refuse to let Him in. God is a Gentleman so if you shut the door to His help then that’s on you. But if you will stop right now, in this very moment, whether you’re reading this at 8am or 8pm and do yourself the favor of deciding you are done doing things YOUR way (which if you’re not currently thrilled with life then you know YOUR way isn’t all that great anyway) and give the steering wheel to God and truly seek Him on what to do next, He will be MORE THAN HAPPY to step in and show you.

Jesus said, “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” Why would you want to put off such an amazing offer?? If you will trust God and give up YOUR way you will see the positive changes that you SAY you want. I urge you, don’t postpone it one more minute! Actually mean what you say and commit to being the best version of yourself today, right now. The bible says God wants to bless you abundantly, beyond anything you’ve ever seen before. LET … HIM!
