”The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new. - Socrates

It took a while, but I finally realized that I was spending too much time trying to stop practicing certain bad habits and not enough time pursuing good ones. The best way to stop bad behavior is to aggressively pursue good behavior. The best way to stop hating is to start loving. Give all your time and energy to all that is good, right, and true and there will be nothing left over to do anything but.

“The size of the steps are not important, as long as they are going in the right direction.” Unknown

When seeking positive change it is helpful to put your energy into looking forward rather than looking back. Keep pressing forward, but only when you are sure forward is forward. We do not do ourselves any favors if we leave somewhere we should not be only to head to another place that is also equally bad, if not worse. Take the steps of change, but only in the right direction.

Our confidence is not in our faith but in the person we put our faith in.

The Roman centurion who asked Jesus to heal his servant understood not only the nature of authority, he also understood that Jesus has it over everything. He put it this way. “But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.” Nicely put! Just say the word Lord, and it will be done. It is a wonderful expression of faith when our confidence that God can do something, matures to that place where we know He will.
