God's grace to change

My husband Ray and I have been dealing with house things - a limb from our neighbor's yard fell onto our roof and gutter, needing repair; our hot water heater had to be replaced; and today a plumber is trying to fix a leaky faucet. All these things are expensive and add up. As I pondered these, I thought where in my life do I need spiritual repairing and replacing? Where do you?

We're not able to change ourselves. We can only become a new creation through the power of Jesus' blood and His work on the cross and God's grace by the Holy Spirit.

Have you ever seen a depressed, fearful, or angry butterfly? No. Butterflies are free and happy. It is a creature that underwent metamorphosis, changing from a caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly. Christ will do that same work in you and me as we have faith in Him and obey His word.

Romans 12:1-2

Titus 3:5, ESV
