Motorbike ashtray

By Bruce Wadd

 

How useless would an ashtray be on a motorbike?  An absolute waste of time!

 

So too, is trying to change yourself.  It’s useless... not a waste of time, but an impossible task! “Why?” you ask.

 

In my many years of contact with people, and living in the skin and brain that I have, I hear and see Christians and non-Christians alike spend much of their time trying to alter themselves.  

 

They / I usually end up struggling with guilt and shame or pride, or some other unwanted emotion – and the ash still keeps being swept out of the useless tray! Here’s the secret… it’s really simple!

 

GOD…does the changing!

 

“Fix your attention on God.  

You’ll be changed from the inside out!

God brings the best out of you,

develops well-formed maturity in you.”

Romans 12:2 TM

 

Hang on for the ride of your life!
