The reason change often times seems so difficult is that we are trying to make it happen backwards! The bible says in Proverbs 23:7 that “as a man thinks in his heart, so is he”. (KJV)This means that if you are ever going to truly change, you have to start to see yourself on the inside how you want to look on the outside. The best way to do that is believing that you can truly do all things through Christ who strengthens you.
That means we need to get dedicated and motivated and change our mindsets! All lasting change starts and takes place right in between your ears – your mind. Satan’s only trick is to lie to us and deceive us. He tries to make us think that we will never feel pretty or break free from bondage in a certain area of our life, but he is nothing but a liar. Christ came to set us free from all bondage!
If you are born again, the Bible says you are already free. “Whom the son has set free, is free indeed”. John 8:36 (KJV) You don’t have to put up with depression or negative mindsets. All you have to do is renew your mind to who HE says you are, and believe nothing but that! It is then that the outside will get in line with that change.
Start today by asking the Lord to help you get a new image of yourself and to see yourself the way He originally created you to be. God does want you to feel and look your best, and He can put that vision inside of you.
When you pursue change on the inside, lasting change will come as a direct result on the outside! God will never let you down!
