God has everyone in a process. Process means, “A continuing development involving many changes.” It’s the many changes that cause concern. Always remember that change is constant, but it always has a direction, and that direction is a pull to the future. We have been conditioned to believe that all change is bad. All change is not bad. The process of change serves to develop the person, as well as the dream that is carried.

It’s perfectly okay to remain true to yourself, and true to the assignment during these many changes. Even during times of uncertainty it’s greatly important to stay focused on what God has spoken. External voices will often encourage a complete makeover when it’s simply not necessary. Develop core values that provide a character anchor during periods of temptation and enticement.

Be able to identify a value system connected to your recreated spirit that will provide power and tenacity during seasons of shifting values. Refuse to change in order to accommodate a temporary discomfort. Remain encouraged since through each dimension of God’s process, handfuls on purpose are discovered, which serve to sustain you throughout many changes!
