For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving
you an example, so that you should follow in his steps.
That's the degree of change many of us desire. Rather
than wishy-washy we'll just be wishy one day and washy the next.
We want life to be better but we want it to happen without any
significant action on our part.
Christ gives us the opportunity to change, but we must put all of our effort in to it.
(1 Peter 2.21
NRSV)
Some people want to
experience new life but they want to do it on their terms. They
want to do it without making any real changes in their lives.
"Next year I'm going to be a changed person!" Charlie Brown tells
Lucy. "That's a laugh, Charlie Brown!" she says. "I mean it!" he
replies. "I'm going to be strong and firm!" "Forget it," she
says as she walks off. "You'll always be wishy-washy!" "Why can't
I change just a little bit?" Charlie Brown asks himself. "I'll
be wishy one day," he shouts, "and washy the next!"
Dear God, encourage me in my effort to be more like Christ. Amen.
