<h2><strong>You Cannot Change Yourself</strong></h2><p><strong>Scripture:</strong> <em>Jeremiah 13:23</em></p><blockquote><em>“Can an Ethiopian change his skin or a leopard its spots? Neither can you do good who are accustomed to doing evil.”</em></blockquote><p><strong>Explanation</strong></p><p>This verse reminds you of an uncomfortable truth: you cannot transform yourself. Your problem is not merely behavior but nature. You do wrong things because you are a sinner by nature. That is why you need more than advice or motivation. You need salvation. You need God to change you from the inside out.</p><p><strong>Personal Reflection</strong></p><p>I see how often I rely on willpower and determination to improve myself. Yet I fall into the same patterns again and again. This verse humbles me and reminds me that I need God’s power, not my effort.</p><p><strong>Personal Application (You)</strong></p><p>Stop trying to fix yourself today. Admit to God that you cannot change without Him. Surrender your efforts and ask Him to do what only He can do.</p><p><strong>Closing Line</strong></p><p><em>Continue reflecting on how God restores your heart in this week’s devotional journey.</em></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
