The irony of Change

We live in a world of constant reflux
but Change is steady -
and we resent

But if we should so enter a state of unproductivity
where change is absent,
we desire

We make new plans for the future, longingly,
yet cling on to the flimsy nothingness
of past

We lose ourselves, to ever changing thoughts
When all we need is a firm answer
To a simple question

Should I change me?

And so we enter

Into a state of non-change
A world that's a bit unsteady
But otherwise, bliss ---

Waiting for Change


My Thoughts: "Still the same.."
- Sometimes we want to change, knowing that it is an inevitable part of life. But we might also end up in a limbo state where we constantly "change" our minds about that, thus half of you may want to move forward while another part of you wants to stay put. So we get stuck. It happens when we long for progress, yet still want our nostalgia. Change is difficult. We get personally involved. We question our own identity as a result. And we get lost in Change.

- IN the spiritual sense.. JESUS is the same today, yesterday and forever. He never changes. He is our rock of refuge. But we may not want to see Him as a central pillar of our lives. Instead, We flitter around. We focus on anything but His Word. We seek Change. Every other season, we have a new hobby, a new goal, and a new pursuite in life. It makes us seem successful. It makes us busy. Fulfilled? Even yet, Jesus is even more than Change. Yes, he wants us to progress in life. But even more, He wants us to transform. By His grace, we are transformed from our current state into something new. From Glory to Glory. Only By HiS Grace, and this is nothing that we can do alone in our human strength. And spiritual transformation has to begin in a state of stagnation - when we truly realise our barrenness and cry out to the Lord for repentance. Then true life-giving change - that brings freedom - will arrive.
