I was in church this morning listening to sharing of ex-drug addicts from breakthrough mission sharing their stories of transformation. God's love & power is indeed amazing.
I reflected on why & how these hardcore drug addicts can transform to a totally different person with very different values?
My conclusion...
1. People change only when they hurt deeply enough so the desire is there.
2. People change only when they learn enough so they are able to - so they know how.
3. And finally, people will only change when they receive enough. When they receive enough love and experience love and hope...they will change!
Change can only happen from within and nobody can influence anyone to change...except Christ! When his love is compelling. We no longer live for ourselves...we live for him :)
