Change is a word I don't necessarily like. In my past and even today, change was a word that held goodbyes and tears.
I can be like the giraffe, who buries their head in the sand and pretends the change isn't happening.
A synonym for change is transformation.
This past weekend, I saw an osprey soaring through the sky. Ospreys are a member of the hawk family; they have a brown back and wings with white underparts. (see the above picture)
I believe there is a spiritual element in everything we encounter, so I Googled what is the spiritual meaning of seeing an osprey. One of the answers I read was, "Transformation."
Sometimes change needs to happen for us to be transformed. God picked me up out of the comfortability of my old life and transformed me into a new person.
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." -2 Corinthians 5:17 ESV
When I got my heart broken back in '15, I was encouraged with this piece of hope,
'Discomfort is necessary for transformation.'
Transformation is different than change. You can change your hair or your clothes, but to be transformed you are a completely different person. An entire 360 and your wardrobe changes and you feel better about yourself.
"For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago." -Ephesians 2:10 NLT
Even if this change might hurt, it'll be on the path of transformation.
Stay strong out there!!
