If we sincerely want to change ourselves for the better, we must start on the inside and work our way out from there. Lasting changes don’t occur from the outside; they occur from the inside. We can easily change our outward appearances but it would have no bearing on our core. The same old ‘us’ would still exist.
Are you in search of a new beginning or, for that matter, a new you? If so, don’t expect a change in circumstances to miraculously transform you into the person you want to become. Transformation starts with God, and it starts in the center of a humble human heart – one just like yours!
No matter how badly we have failed, we can always get up and begin again. Our God is the God of new beginnings.
And this is the reason: God lives forever and is holy. He is high and lifted up. He says, “I live in a high and holy place, but I also live with people who are sad and humble. I give new life to those who are humble and to those whose hearts are broken.
Isaiah 57:17 (NCV)
