My Thoughts On Change
All that man can do to slow change
Is a mere inconvenience to God?
Though we may dig our heels in and resist it,
Change began with life itself.
Some change evolves from God,
While the remainder is man induced.
Within this, I see two types of change,
Meaningful change (should be embraced)
And change just for the sake of changing.
(This is where my heels dig ruts).
I use three criteria in my life for determining a need for change.
1) Is it necessary?
(Genuine need or simply something that would be nice.)
2) Whose ego will benefit primarily from the results of this change?
(Be unselfish; don’t act on my perceived need)
3) Can I afford its cost?
(Are we neglecting some other need in order to instigate this change?)
[Something that might have a greater impact on God’s work?]
