Today, we will discuss “Changing Yourself For The Better” to walk more closely with the Lord. The Lord wants us to be closer to him so he can be our personal God. The Bible teaches us the right path that guides us to walk in God’s ways. When we read the scripture it transforms us and makes us a new creature.
Renewing our minds we can change ourselves for the better. This means we have to give up old patterns of thinking and accept a new mindset rooted in God’s truth. When we live our lives with new mindsets based on God’s direction, we find change in every aspect of our lives.
We should surrender our plans to God to see change in our spiritual journey. When we let God control our lives, we allow him to transform us from the inside out. This expresses that we trust him completely. Often, we fail to trust God completely, but we need to discipline ourselves so we can rely on him in every circumstance in our lives.
Dear friends, now let’s see the Bible scriptures below that talk about changing yourself for the better.
