Yes, I’ve changed. There’s still a lot more that needs changing. I can see it in myself and there’s not a darn thing I can do about it, but at least I’m now able to see it. Before I always thought my reactions were justified. If I was angry, I had good reason to be angry. I saw only my point of view in situations and everyone else was wrong.
But now I see it differently. Maybe I can’t seem to change it, but I know the One who can and so I pray about it. Trying to change yourself is a hopeless task. Been there. Done that. I also know in a more clear way that I’m a sinner. The Bible agrees with me. (1 John 1:8) I never used to think of myself that way. I was great at justifying myself.
I know more clearly my great need of Jesus and that in Him I am a child of God. I love the Lord. I need the Lord. All these things; my perspective, my ego, and what Jesus has done for me, has changed.
