"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you" -- Ezekiel 36:26 / HCSB
If we sincerely want to change ourselves for the better, we must start on the inside and work our way out from there. Lasting change does not occur ""out there"; it occurs "in here." It occurs, not in the shifting sands of our own particular circumstances, but in quiet depths of our own hearts.
Are you in search of a new beginning or, for that matter, a new you? If so, do not expect changing circumstances to miraculously transform you into the person you want to become. Transformation starts with God, and it starts in the silent center of a humble human heart - like yours.

Lord, conform us to Your image. Create in us a new heart - a heart that reflects the love that You lavish upon us. When we need to change, Lord, change us, and make us new again.
