Life Changing Business

Christ is in the life changing business!  I know that is obvious, but often forgotten.  Oh, I don't mean in the eternal sense of life changing.  That is really hard to forget.  But what about the everyday life changing work that He does!

This week my co-workers and I were having a conversation about how many changes we have seen in a member of the congregation.  We were describing the new peace that he exhibits, the new countenance we see in him, and just how different he is.  Later it hit me.  Why were we all so surprised?  He is a strong believer in Christ and of course Christ is going to change him.  Made me start thinking of other changes in other people:

• a friend who trusted the Holy Spirit's nudge and is teaching SS and having a blast
• a parent who speaks to her children with a tone of love, even at times of discipline
• a couple who I saw holding hands as they walked down the hall
• a single mom who has found a life style that pleases God
• a family that has totally changed their financial patterns
• a teenager who speaks with confidence

What about me?  Can I say that God is in the life changing business in my life.  Most definitely!  But he has a lot more changing to do.
