Instead of believing one thing, now you think another. One day you believe Christ didn\u2019t die on the cross, then you believe He did. Deciding to follow Jesus means you changed your mind. Instead of making yourself the center of the world, Jesus becomes your core.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every time I take a step of faith, I\u2019m saying no to self, yes to God. When I confess to my husband, \u201cHoney, I\u2019m over budget,\u201d I do it because of God. I consider the Big Guy my boss. God\u2019s guidelines on marriage haven\u2019t changed: husbands, love like Jesus, wives submit to hubby. When a man loves you like Jesus, you have no problem submitting. Ron loves me like Jesus. But I still have to say no to myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Control the choice.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ron and I ride our bikes to church; two possible routes to the destination exist.\u00a0We decided which way we would take on our first Sunday before we left.\u00a0 When we crossed the road, I went right, Ron left.\u00a0 Immediately, Ron realized he had gone the wrong way, so he turned around.\u00a0 That\u2019s all it takes to repent.\u00a0 Stop, turn and go the other way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you place your faith in Jesus, you make a U-turn. First, determine your direction, then decide if you like what you see. I left being a Flight Attendant because I saw its toll on the body. Looking at the senior Flight Attendants gave me insight into my future. I didn\u2019t like what I saw, so I left. I made a decision and turned my life in a different direction. Now, looking back, I see God\u2019s hand clearly, but I didn\u2019t realize it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Change your mind today. Turn around and follow Jesus. Let the worry go; give it to the Lord. Rest in Him today. In God, you can trust. [i]<\/a> Strong, J., & Strong, J. (2010). The New Strong’s expanded exhaustive concordance of the Bible<\/em>.
