Mariam and others were experiencing great change in their lives. Nonplussed, she turned to the Rabbi.
Rabbi Jesus told her, "The Spirit is doing something new in your lives; otherwise how do you account for the newness, creativity and freshness that is blowing through your lives? I break you out of your mould; what does not change is dead. Life means change. Dare to take a chance; dare the risk inherent in all new growth."
Many of us become comfortable in old routines, and become mired in emotional ruts. Sometimes, life brings along great change in circumstances such as those inherent in relationships, home, employment or geographical domicile. None of this is easy, and we may find ourselves protesting dramatic change.
Yet, let us not forget, that it may be the Holy Spirit of God at work in our lives. All life is change. All change may bring growth. As sons and daughters of God, we continue to grow as the Father prepares us to be able to live in the eternal Light of His Purity and Holiness.
Be courageous and embrace change, when you discern that the change comes from God. Gracious acceptance of what we cannot change, may help us reach serenity and inner peace.
