Changing My Routine (Relying on God)

Along the way I’ve discovered in my life that it’s the daily, repeated actions that mold my character; those daily activities become my routine, my habits; they make up the very fiber of who I am.

I’ve found that the trials in my life often reveal deep, hidden truths; but, unless these newly-learned truths become habits that I diligently apply to my daily life, they will quickly fade into ineffective memories.

The “big” events in my life only elicit permanent changes in me when I allow God to incorporate what I’ve learned into my daily routine. Only when I make those ideals, those dreams, a habit will they become my reality. If I don’t allow their ripples to permeate my daily life, constantly inspiring me to grow, they will become a memory, a fading memory—empty echoes of hope lost.

This is especially true in my relationship with God; unless I make Him a daily part of my life, that relationship will become a vague memory of what I once had—an empty aching, a separation from Life.

So join me as I determine to daily apply the truths learned from the hard lessons in life. Join me as I stop repeating the mistakes of the past and instead allow God to transform my future one faith-filled day at a time.

Final Thought: It is not enough to want to change; we must daily rely on God to work that change in us, putting His love into action in our lives
