Changing A Person

A worthless and wicked person walks around saying perverse things; (Proverbs 6:12 NET)

Mia Angelo had a saying, "If someone shows you who they are, believe them." When I was single I would see a woman who had a behavior that just wouldn't add up. But you know what I would say? "Oh, she will change" or even better, "oh, I can change her." Has anyone else ever said that? I'm sure all of us at some point has said that. People that are in abusive relationships, how many of them say "oh but he/she is a nice person except when they drink" or "he/she doesn't do that unless I don't do what they tell me." That is a bunch of lies that the devil has put in our human brains. Lets get one thing clear, you can't change anyone. No matter how hard you try, you can't change anyone. Only Jesus can change someone, all you can do is pray for that person. For those in abusive relationships, get some help, because that person is not going to change. Again, only Jesus can change that person.

Take Away: if you are trying to change someone, stop it, because you can't. Onlly Jesus can change a person, all you can do is pray for that person.
