Can Do or Can’t Do?

Here are the 5 changes I made in my life that took me from being the perpetual loser to a “Can Do” person:Change #1: I decided to spend quality time with God every day. If it meant sleeping less and getting up earlier, I was willing to do that sacrifice. I knew that having fellowship with the kindest Being in the Universe would affect my life powerfully.
Change #2: I studied His Word and took advantage of every opportunity I had to listen to anointed teachings from Him. I’d download free Bible teachings and listen to them while I cooked, drove in my car, exercised, worked in the garden, etc.
Change #3: I took the quality decision that these new learned truths would govern my life from now on. As I listened to God’s Word, my way of thinking started to change. I started to view myself the way God sees me, as a precious creation of His that had the God given ability to succeed in life. I discovered that He had an exciting, glorious and good plan for my life.
Change #4: I learned the language of silence. Even though my mind was being renewed by receiving high quality spiritual food, my mouth often still spoke things that were contrary to God’s Word. The Bible says that life and death lie in the power of the tongue (Proverbs
Change #5: I chose to walk in love. Coming from a dysfunctional family, I had serious wounds of my past and harbored resentment against the people who had hurt me. I decided to forgive and not to take any more offenses, because I knew they would shut me off from God and His blessings. Besides, after spending so much time with Him, He taught me to love the way He loves: unconditionally.
Please note that these changes did not occur overnight. It was only through the grace,–the supernatural empowerment of God–that I could stick through this process without giving up. He was always there, patient and merciful.
He restored my life to a place where people are impressed by my boldness and confidence. What a miracle!
If He did it for me, He can do it for you too!
