Dear friends, today we are going to talk about a very important and often challenging topic, allowing God to change us. Many of us might feel comfortable with who we are and may not be ready to change, but the truth is that God wants to work in our lives and change us into the best version of ourselves. In this sermon, we will be using Psalm 51:10 NASB as our guiding verse, which says, Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Recognize the need for change: The first step towards allowing God to change us is to acknowledge that we need to change. We must recognize that we are not perfect and that we need to work on our weaknesses.
Surrender to God: Once we have recognized the need for change, we must surrender to God and allow Him to work in our lives. This requires a lot of courage and faith, as we must trust that God knows what is best for us.
Trust in God's plan: When we surrender to God, we must trust in His plan and believe that He has a purpose for our lives. We must believe that He will lead us to a better place, even if the change is difficult or uncomfortable.
Be open to God's work: In order to allow God to change us, we must be open to His work. This means that we must be willing to listen to His voice and follow His guidance, no matter where it takes us.
Embrace the change: Finally, we must embrace the change that God is bringing into our lives. We must welcome it with open arms and be grateful for the opportunity to grow and become better people.
In conclusion, allowing God to change us can be a difficult and challenging journey, but it is a journey that is well worth taking. When we surrender to God and allow Him to work in our lives, we will experience a sense of peace and fulfillment that can only come from living in alignment with His will. So, let us have the courage to allow God to change us and trust that He has a good plan for our lives. May we be blessed as we follow His guidance and grow into the best version of ourselves.
