God has you in a process. Process means, “A continuing development involving many changes.” It’s the “many changes” that cause anxiety. Change is constant, but it always has a direction, and that direction is your pull to the future. We have been conditioned to believe that all change is bad. All change is not bad. The process serves to develop you, as well as the dream in your heart. Never abandon what’s in your heart; its day will come. The process, and its intended end, you will ultimately realize “IT’S CHANGING FOR BETTER!”

It’s okay to remain true to yourself. Even during times of uncertainty, stay focused on what God has spoken. External voices will entice you to do a complete makeover when it’s simply not necessary. Discover, and develop core values that provide a “character anchor” during periods of temptation and enticement. Be able to identify the value system connected to your recreated spirit that will provide power and tenacity during seasons of shifting values. Refuse to amend in order to accommodate a temporary discomfort. Be true to the value system found in God’s Word and you will understand “IT’S CHANGING FOR BETTER!”
