Transition and Change
They occur at every level - physical, psychological, and spiritual. Each transition and each change holds meaning. What can we learn about ourselves and each other through the experiences?
What can we learn about our relationship with the Lord and divine providence?
"Behold I make all things new." --Revelation 21:5
"Life without changes and variations would lead to sameness, and so no life at all." --Secrets of Heaven 37
Monday
Changing Places
"Now the LORD had said to Abram, 'Get out of your country - to a land that I will show you." --Genesis 12:1
What is it like for you to move? The move could be from one position in a company to another, from one home to another, or it could simply be putting yourself in another’s shoes. What happens when you change places?
Tuesday
Changing States
"Human life, from infancy to old age, is nothing else than a progression from the world to heaven." ----Secrets of Heaven 3016
What human state of life are you experiencing right now? Is it a reflective state? a joyful state? a productive state? a depressed state? a state of sadness? How is it similar to or different from the one you were in before? What are you learning?
Wednesday
Changes in relationships
Jesus lovingly told His disciples, "You have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice." --John 16:22
Relationships often transition like the weather – sometimes predictably like the seasons, other times without much warning. What are your relationships like now? How would you like to improve them?
Thursday
Changing spiritually
"Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me." --Psalm 51:10
If you were to ask the Lord to help you create or renew one part of your spiritual life, what would you focus on? Maybe it involves a new way of thinking. Or maybe a new practice. If the transition involves challenge and temptation, how can you cooperate with the Lord to make the change stick?
Friday
Changes coming
"Every smallest moment of a person's life involves a series of consequences extending to eternity." --Secrets of Heaven 3854
What change plans are you going to start for yourself? What is your timeframe? What support do you need? Would it help to write, draw or act them out or share them with someone? Take time today to explore your intentions for making an effective transition into a new beginning.
