REORGANIZATION - A CHANGE

Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope"

The only thing that stays constant is a change.

Reorganization is the act of reorganizing. With a clear intention of making a situation or an organization towards a better state.

It is a change, it is something that is constant, a change for a better (at least the intention). I am again accommodating a new change in the organization. Something that is needed for the better of the organization as well as the people in it.

It is understood that sometimes we do not like change. Kubler-Ross stages of grief explains to us about how some of us tend to walk through these stages when we are facing a change, a reorganization. They are

• Denial (avoidance, fear, confusion)
• Anger (frustration, iritarion, anxiety)
• Depression (helplessness, fight, hostility)
• Bargaining (finding meaning, reaching to others)
• Acceptance (exploring options, moving on)

Only when we reach the level of acceptance then we are able to better uplift our view, our added values.

Similar to the change story of Apostle Paul. As we know he was born actually as Saul. Saul was determined to eradicate Christians as he watched the life of Peter and the others. Saul was ruthless in his pursuit of Christians as he believed he was doing it in the name of God.

Personally, I found there is no one more frightening or more vicious than a religious terrorist, especially when he believes that he is doing the will of the Lord by killing innocent people.

But yet, God change Saul to Paul. God 'reorganized' Saul to became Paul. And it went through a painful process, he was made blind by God. He went through the 5 stages of grief.

And look how he shined after he reached the acceptance level!! He became Apostle Paul!

I pray that a lot of us can faithfully walk through all the changes in our life. Be it reorganization at office or in our life. I pray that we are bless in reaching the acceptance level of every change in our life. I pray we can shine like Paul!

Philippians 4:6-7 - "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

What a day full of blessing!!
