The Only True Changes Are Internal

My beloved children and brothers and sisters in Christ, as I read the devotion from Our Daily Bread, what the author said is true and back by God's word. We seek to better their lives through surgery or going to the gym, etc. We feel better about ourselves. However, the feelings soon fade, and we are back where we started. The only true way to feel better about ourselves is through Jesus. Once we trust Jesus with our lives, we go through an internal change, the deepest and most satisfying changes in our hearts coming to know the love that surpasses knowledge (Eph. 3:17–19)—the love that changes everything. The Holy Spirit tells us that we are God's child and belong to Christ.
