CHANGE YOUR
THINKING, CHANGE
YOUR LIFE
“Repent and believe in the Gospel.” – Mark 1:15
He was failing in class
because he wasn’t studying. Instead, he would cut classes and go to parks and
malls. Then his mother said to him, “Son, you have to study and stop cutting
classes. Follow the example of the ants. They work hard and they don’t just go
anywhere they want to.”
The son replied, “That’s not
true, Mommy. I saw them yesterday at the park.”
The most important ingredient for change is the desire to change.
Jesus began His ministry of repentance in the region
of Galilee because He knew that the people there were open to change. They
loved hearing new things and new teachings.
The Word of God bears more
fruit in people who are open to change.
The word “repentance” that was used in this
passage is from the Greek word metanoia, which literally means a change
of mind. Once the mind is changed, the entire life follows.
Whether it’s a change of
mind, heart or life, Jesus calls us to change for the better. Arun Gogna (gognuts@yahoo.com)
Reflection: What is God asking you to change in your life today?
Change how I think, Lord,
that I may be like You.
