It is never too late to make the changes necessary to live a better, healthier life. Experts agree that any changes, even small ones, done at any age will improve our health and our outlook on life. What it takes is a commitment to doing the new things consistently, living a different lifestyle than we did before, and being patient while the changes take hold.

It is never too late to change direction and follow the Lord’s path. What it takes is an admission that the way we have followed is leading nowhere, doing the things that will bring us closer to God, and the faith that God is changing our hearts to walk in his way.

The results we desire will take time, because it requires not simply a change in activities, it requires a change of attitude, a change of heart, a different way of thinking. These changes happen incrementally but when they finally take hold they will transform our lives.

God promises to be with us, to walk with us, to change us, and to lead us into that new life in him.

Lord, help us to make the changes to bring about a new life. Transform us into the people you want us to be. Amen.
