People Can Change

 

I've often been the one the end of a conversation where I was being talked to as the person I was 6, 7 or maybe 8 years ago. While I know that I've changed, it's often hard to convince others that I have changed. We all go through this at some point in our life. The point where we are trying so hard to let go of a part of our life that no longer exists to us but a select few people just enjoyed that version of us so much that they refuse to let it go.

Everyone doesn't want to see a good version of you, some people immensely enjoys the version of you that suffers the most. People that you trust and love so much and think would never hurt you will try so hard to hold you back because they don't want you to be better, they don't want to see you happy.

"If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." - John 8:36 KJV

When you are free from your chains, from sin, from the things that hold you back in this life - that version of yourself is gone. Others may try so hard to bring that part of you back but when God says "it is done" then that's exactly what he means.

Choosing who you allow yourself to keep company with can be hard but people that refuse to accept the good version of you are not your people, they are not for your good.

Remember, God is for our good and will never do anything to hurt us. If we go through something that brings us pain it is because he has something greater for us.

So, if you're someone that is surrounded by people that refuse to accept the new version, the good version of you then just know - it's time to let go. Peace comes in the morning and it might seem hard right now but I promise you this - when God takes your chains then you're not meant to pick them back up again. Let it go.
