I just finished watching the movie 16 Blocks. A movie about a cop (played by Bruce Willis) trying to escort a witness (played by Mos Def) to the courthouse so he can testify. The only problem is, that this witness is set to testify against some crooked cops and Willis and Def's characters have to make it the 16 blocks to the courthouse while being pursued by these crooked cops who are intent on killing the witness.
It turns out that Willis was once in cahoots with the crooked cops and now has decided to do the right thing and protect the witness. Many other times in his life, he would have just turned a blind eye to the injustice and take the easy road. But this time something has made him change. And one of the underlying themes of the movie is that 'People can change'
The movie's premise while not perfect is right, people do change all the time. Some for the better, some for the worse. When someone comes to Jesus, we have an instantaneous change called salvation and an ongoing 'change' called sanctification. Christians are NOT perfect, but they should try and change for the better each day (though the power of Christ).
So as you face today, try and let Jesus guide you as you change.
