Has anyone ever come to you at the mall, church or work and ask, "Do you have change?" Quite frankly, it's going to be a yes/no answer...you either have it or you don't. The next time someone asks you, "Do you have change?" check out their response if your answer is no....that person is disappointed, but not discouraged because he or she is going to find change for that $5, $10 or $20 bill. I actually did this one day....someone asked me for change at work, but I did not have it....this individual was like, "All man, Tonio, it's cool though" I watched this person go around our department until he was able to locate change....shortly thereafter he passed by my desk with a bottle of water and said, "I sure was thirsty." Life is similar to this..people around us are in need of change simply because they are sick and tired of being sick and tired. However if we are not in possession of change we will be incapable of invoking change in others...in layman's terms: you can not give what you do not possess. There may be people in close proximity of you that are thirsty spiritually, need someone to speak life into them, but if you have yet to experience change and/or be impacted by that change you will miss opportunities to help others experience the exhilarating effects of true change that can propel them to their destiny...."if any man be in Christ he is a new creation, old things have passed away, behold all things have become new"
