What does it mean to Change?

I was asked the question:

how many people are eager to change?..

My reaction was: hahah

and this is why:

Thats a great question..
the actual question is:
why do people fear change..

Change is a natural occurance and it always ends with some result
the interruptation of that result being good or bad is the driver to make more people fear it..
seasons change,
humans change as they grow,
the suns position changes,
the earth's rotation changes.

I believe if people saw themselves as controllers and inputters to change, they would be eased..

I think the idea of change without them is hard to swallow

ie: a person is living in the morning, and in the afternnon is dead..
People are more eased if they coulvd've beenthere , cause perhaps they could have done something to stop the change..even if it was inevitable

Hence our obsession on time machines and parallel universes in science fiction

But, if we look at the positive aspect instead, if we look at change as a means , as a vehicle to create something better, whether an environment or a moment, then people would embrace.

So why not see Christianity as a vehicle of change.. to change from evil into good, to change from ignorance into knowledge

If any Christian believed themselves capable of such change, capable of beinan agent of change, then imagine what could happen..

Not to say we can change things all on our own.. but to be agents as in to be used for chagne..

We are called to love, to share love, to spread love, imagine if we did this so openly knowing that tomorrow would be a better day, that we would be steps closer to the true image and likeness we were inteded for.

Why not aim for that change?
