Sometimes things happen in your life, things you didn't expect. Sometimes someone will tell you something, you didn't want to hear, things that will change your life. We don't usually embrace change very well, us human beings. We often like things to stay the way they are. We feel comfortable that way even if things aren't the way we wanted. We Christians long to follow God, but when we hear Him communicate with us, we often resist change even if we know it's God's will for our lives. Even if we know God will use it for His glory.
