This morning while having coffee with a friend in my dinning room NikiRhe came in looking for hugs and attention. I picked her up and sat her on my lap and I loved on her and we cuddled for a moment when I noticed she stank... lol ...
I put her on the floor and told her to go tell daddy 'change me'... sure enough she walked strait to the living room and said rather loudly " CHANGE ME"! It was the most precious thing I'd heard in a while! She was such a little blessing. This was even after she had gotten her first hair cut and was a little miffed at her mommy for making her sit still.
Well this got me to thinking. "Change me" What a phrase. I once heard that this is the most powerful two word prayer a Christian can pray. When we are constantly asking God to change people around us, our circumstances and other things. If we could just sincerely pray to God " Change ME" I believe we would see a WORLD of change.
I experimented with this a few years ago when I was feeling like things in my marriage needed to change. I felt we were stagnant and not moving forward or growing as a couple. So I prayed "Lord, Change ME". I found over the next two years that not only did He change my outlook, He changed my heart, my in-look and they way I view my spouse, myself and my fellow man.
God also allowed me to see that being a stay at home mom or even a work at home mom was the path in life I desired the most. So when our daughter was born I prayed for God to provide for me to be able to be home and to teach her to be a graceful homemaker and seeker of Christ.
To this day I have to remind myself at times that I need to ask for God to 'Change ME' because I can't control every aspect of life but I know the plans He has for me!
Be Blessed
