Can You Spare Some Change?

they say the only people who can't change themselves are babies when they're wet yet most people won't even try to change when they reach the adult set they live lives of quiet desperation, still singing the same sad songs and can't seem to stop acting like babies no matter how right or how wrong yet when it comes to discussing the future of modern man scientists have discover that our behavior has gotten out of hand we overeat, we over-drink, we smoke, we're anxious, stressed and depressed we need to practice some restraint and change so that we can be blessed stop looking at life in the same way and start living for the better it's time to make some changes and stop acting like we're still bed wetters with a need for our priorities in life to be rearranged so I ask this question, "can you spare some change?" If you want a genuine change and transformation to come about it's an inside job that must occur without any hesitation or doubt yet many desire to maintain the status quo but at the same time want progress but that's an impossible task to accomplish so again to you I address can you spare some change? do you desire to move forward and grow? can you spare some change in this life that you now know? if you've ever heard someone say, "that's not the way we used to do it" tell them to make a change and then listen the Holy Spirit we need to stop all the unnecessary stressing we might miss our anointing or our blessing let go of all that harmful behavior standing between you and your personal Savior stop being over-indulgent, learn to exercise and trim the fat remove the blinders so you'll no longer be flying around like a blind bat seek out the Lord Jesus Christ and let His wisdom guide your life It's time for your attitude to be rearranged a life altering decision, can you spare some change? become a risk taker and step out on a limb be like the tax collector, Zacchaeus determined to find Him Jesus Christ whom he needed to see he even went so far as to climb up a sycamore tree now reformed from a tax collecting sinner transformed into a spiritual winner now a disciple of the Good News salvation at hand, no longer living confused willing to do whatever The Lord asks for gave half his wealth to the disadvantaged and the poor he made a concession that was so brave and so bold to give any he might have cheated back their money four-fold the crowd then murmured for they found all this strange but Zacchaeus was a man who willing to spare some change
