Let’s Talk About Grace: Grace To Change

We all have something in life that we would like to change. It could be something that we would like to stop doing such as overeating, drinking alcohol excessively, constantly being late, worrying, etc. It could also be something that we would like to begin to do more consistently like exercising, reading our Bible, practicing more patience, etc. According to Nielsen Analytics, losing weight is the #1 New Year’s resolution, but there are others that also rank high on the list including finding love, saving money, elevating my career, etc. According to statistics, only 64% of New Year’s resolutions survive past the first month, only 46% continue past the first 6 months, and only 12% succeed. So, the bad news is that most of us find it very difficult to change the big things in our lives. If asked, many would conclude that the reason most people don’t succeed is linked to commitment and willpower. Uuuugh! You would be wrong!
