Pocket Change

Change. A word that represents an idea that is so sought after and avoided in our world today. Change represents hope for the future, a chance to learn from our mistakes – and oh how many do we make! But it is also like pulling the keystone from a building. Change can be devastating, and for many that six-letter word holds the power of life and death, fear and security, instability. How do we deal with Change? Run and hide or face it full on? When the world turns and life amends itself, there is nothing that we as simple humans can do to stop it. There is more involved in Change than just our feelings, fears, and failings. The very essence of human life is Change and growth. We cannot stay as children forever, there comes a time when we must mature and put childish ways behind us. Change entangles every human action, natural disaster, disease, accident, loss, and decision. Life does not flip a coin to decide when it is going to change. God does not choose to Change something spur of the moment. He has a plan, and that involves Change. Seasons end and begin all the time. There is nothing that we can do to stop that. But we can learn to grow and thrive in Change. It is a healthy, normal, natural part of life, and Change is a much better alternative than Stagnation.
