I am a creature of habit. I find something I like and I stick with it. At each fast food joint I order the same thing every time. My wardrobe has very little variations. And I have quite a rigid TV schedule. The smallest change in my life, even a positive one, can throw me completely out of whack.
But God is a God of changes. He stays the same but He wants to change us and those around us. Sometimes those changes are hard to accept. We may see the good in them but we're comfortable just where we are and wish it would all stay the same.
When I feel tempting to complain about changes God has for me I try to remind myself of this; no one has been asked to change more for God than Jesus. He had to leave is Father's side in Heaven, come to earth, and suffer and ultimately die a horrific death. When I think of that the changes He wants for me do seem rather small by comparison.
