Change Yourself

September 19, 2019 By John Deisher

When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.”

— Viktor E. Frankl

At some time or another, we all will encounter a situation that is beyond our control.

It is not very pleasant to be in that position.

We do what we always do: we try to change the situation. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t.

When it works, it is great.

When it doesn’t, it is not so great.

So what do we do? Mostly we complain. But is there a different path?

What if we could change ourselves? That is the challenge. It means we find a different perspective in which to view this situation. 

Maybe find a Kingdom perspective?

Because in the midst of every situation, there is always an opportunity for us to become more like Christ and see what God is doing.
