To love you from the inside out

those were the lyrics i heard tonight which stirred this thought: so often, we desire change… maybe in ourselves. or we want something to happen, we want to be different… alot of times as a “new” christian there seems to be alot one may feel the need to do. or to accomplish, as far as bringing themselves into the new person that they want to be. “old” christians even go through this too though, as God reveals things in us because we are never perfect and we will always need His guidance.

but  with human eyes it is so easy to sometimes, look at a problem and immediately go after it and try to MAKE it different. or MAKE it change. or MAKE the situation what we want it to be… al the while, focusing on the problem. and not the root of it, have you ever heard the saying ” go to the heart of the matter” ? someone once said to me to never forget the power of prayer. i know that. but still somehow hearing it, made it stick out to me differently. we can all too often take for granted things that we know. when sometimes solutions are as simple as that, the power of prayer.

i am completely convinced that if you want change, you need to make it happen. we get wound up in habits and poorly chosen ways, that sometimes it can be a battle to change behavior. — so i am sticking to the fact that you need to take action, if a problem arises. but if your heart is not aligned with what you are changing, that is the first place that change needs to take place. quit focusing on the problem, and go to the heart of the matter. from the inside out.
