There are moments in life that provide an opportunity to wipe your slate clean and institute changes centered around an attitude that is pleasing to God. The Prodigal Son had made a complete mess of his life but decided to pick himself up and make something out of the life God had given him.
He started by permitting himself to conceptualize what was feasible for him to accomplish. He then decided to change his attitude that had produced conflict and alienation. Most would agree that it’s difficult to make healthy changes to keep your thinking and behavior in line with what God will bless.
So what changes in attitude do you need to make that demonstrate you have a clean slate to stand by regardless of the external and internal pressure you encounter to renege on your commitment? Jesus asked Peter, “Do you love me?” If you ask God to help you love him, your commitment has greater potential for success. Loving God is a choice you can make now.
Jesus said, “’Love the Lord your God with all your passion
and prayer and intelligence.’ This is the most important, the first on any
list.”
~Matthew 22:37-38 The Message
