CHANGES...CHANGES...CHANGES

We have all, in recent days, followed quite closely political runs around the world and changes in governments. I believe I can mention the French President, the Australian Prime Minister and now the USA President which political campaigns have shaken the structure of countries and continents and awaken the mind of many for different possibilities and opportunities in life.

What made their campaign so special? They have materialized the meaning of newness, hope and perspective through their characters and proposals and all of a sudden people got so attached and identified with this perspective. They voted for them and in other words they voted for a change.

If it will take place, only time will show. If they will be able to deliver all that was thoroughly discussed and promised, we do not know; but they took people to believe they will.

Deep down we are all in search of new things, new experiences and new improvements in our life. We all appreciate what is unique and different. We all want changes.

Hence, some make options that are extreme and lead them to complete loss. Others are able to do right choices and apply themselves in particular areas of life that will bring up changes to them. They will embark in new professional careers, new adventures and health resolutions therefore being able to experience a whole new world.

All the effort is valid and again if you will overcome, only time will show. But there is a need of change inside of you that all material and emotional efforts cannot quench because you need to fill up the void that you do not even mention to your best friend or you do not want to pay attention to and acknowledge honestly that it is there.

You have changed jobs, professions, cities, your look is trendy, you are now making new friends, your partner now seems to be Mr. Right Guy but still you do not feel that you achieved the change that you so much want and need.

Take a look in this quote extracted from a powerful book of wisdom and encouragement Forget the former things; 
do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert 
and streams in the wasteland    “ Isaiah 43:18-19.  I invite you to give a chance to the Creator of all new things to work this change in you.

Do all you can, apply your efforts in all new projects you may have but do not forget that first things come first and all changes will start by you allowing God to change what goes inside of you.
