Change Comes When You Want It

This is my new revelation that seems to be everywhere I look. If you really want something to change, no matter how big, how audacious, how long it seems to take, there's really only one factor that matters.

That you want it.

If you really want something to change, really, what can stand in your way? It may not be the most desired outcome, or it may take some work, things that people use as excuses for change, but when you finally hit that point where it matters to you and you want it bad enough, things will change.

I've been reading Jeremiah lately and God even has that point of needing change. The people of Judah were not living for Him, they were sacrificing to other idols, they were basically all out living against God, then God says this:

Jeremiah 44:21b-22a ~ Don’t you think God noticed? He noticed, all right. And He got fed up. Finally, He couldn’t take your evil behavior and your disgusting acts any longer. (MSG)

Even God hits that point where it's time for change. The question is do you merely want things to change, or do you need them to change? And if you need change, what are you willing to do about it?
