 How
can I really change?
Often when
men and women are faced with the person of Jesus, they say something
like this: "I'd like to follow Jesus, but if I do, I'm sure
I'll never be able to live the life. I've made mistakes, I carry
resentments, I face temptations, and I say a lot of things I shouldn't.
I could never live the Christian life."
In fact, they're
right. No matter how good you are, you can't live the Christian
life on your own. When you become a Christian, you ask Jesus to
live in and through you--so it's no longer what you do, but what
Jesus does that gives you the power to change. He's the one who
gives you the ability to live a new life, to start over again.
 That's
exactly what Kelita found out. As a travelling musician, she lived
a wild life on the road, a life much different than what she wanted.
One day, after surviving a car accident, she realized she needed
to change her lifestyle. Kelita turned her life over to Jesus
and asked him to help her. He did. "As I gave the pain of
my life to him," she says, "he healed my heart, and
showed he loves me."
Your response
What can Jesus
do for you? He can give purpose and meaning to your life. He can
grant you peace throughout your day. He can wipe away all your
sin, and give you forgiveness. And he can empower you to change.
By accepting and believing in Jesus, you will begin to discover
God's best for your life.
