In life, there will be three major challenges, in three different areas. At each intersection you will be asked to change.
1. Emotional Program
You set up your emotional program in childhood. Some beliefs and behaviors were meant for survival and won’t work well in adulthood. If you refuse to change, you will be functioning as an emotional child in an adult body.
2. Spiritual Program
God is in the refinement business. Somewhere on life’s journey God will target your favorite security blanket. He will then quietly whisper, “Rest with your (Linus) security blankie? Or, rest with me?”
3. Marriage Program
Marriage is a wonderful assignment with big disappointments. A regular, normal, human spouse will at times disappoint you. Will you become bitter over time? Or, grow deeper, richer, and wiser?

God is in the mentoring-changing-refining business.
Your Choices:
- Decide to resist change. Fight to stay the same. And, coast from here to the end.
- Or, take a deep breath. Pray for wisdom. And, take the next step forward in faith.
Prayer
Jesus, please help me grow. Amen.
