Probably the last gas pump in Canada to issue fuel by the gallon was at Carritt’s Eckville Super Service in Alberta. In 1970, Canada had begun converting the country to metric. But the Eckville station continued to sell by the gallon. In 1984 the “metric police” came to shut them down. It didn’t happen, and the Carritt family continued to sell gas by the gallon. Eventually the underground tank had to be replaced, and the change was made. It reminds one that enforced change often brings resistance. Only when we change on the inside can effective results come about. That’s true in marriage, and also concerning our attitude toward the Heavenly Father. When we’ve done wrong and are genuinely sorry for it, it always involves changing on the inside. Paul the Apostle put it this way – “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, behold all things have become new.” Need a heart change?
