The topic of the thread is not change so much or happiness. It is about the difference between expecting change that is from a human perspective, to come from above, and the kind of change that is from Heaven's perspective, that is come from us humans.
See?
I suppose I can draw a picture. It isn't easy though.
People waiting for change, their kind of change, that will be decided from ABOVE is one kind of outlook.
That kind of outlook discourages the other outlook, the kind that has real power, which is change happens from within.
Most people will agree change that happens within a person is the kind that matters. OK. Now imagine change that happens within human society.
Do you see the difference? One is within but the other one is without (outside).
Can a person live for both? Is a person able to hand over change to his god but also work for change from within society? If it was a question on a test I would have to choose 'no'. It can't be done.
Of course I am talking about absolutes. I believe it is possible to foster change with God's blessing. But whenever you will hand over the future of Earth to God Himself then is it also possible to foster your own change? How please?
I see they are happy to believe God will make the changes for them that will prove their happiness. Is their happiness waiting to be happy?
