Grasping for Control

DAY 3 OF 5

The Cost of Change

Can people really change? The answer is, yes! But, it’s not easy. Often, we aren’t motivated to change unless we have to—because personal growth means giving something up.

Those who choose to work on a struggling marriage will have to let go of unrealistic ideas of what 'the perfect relationship' is. But whatever we need to surrender in order to follow God’s ways...He’s worth it.

And, more than any power in the world, God is the one who is able to transform us.

The Bible says…

…the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.

When we let God gradually, lovingly shape our hearts and heal our deep wounds, the benefits are so much greater than the cost. Will you invite God to meet you in the stuck places of your life, and begin to change you today?

And we long to control the situations that frustrate us. Join Andrew and Wendy Palau in this encouraging 5-day devotional and be encouraged that God's power meets us where our power ends. With Jesus Christ, change is possible.
