to become different:
to become altered or modified
to become transformed or converted
a variation or deviation; alteration:
So what is change, really? How can one change permanently? I think that most people change (or at least are willing to to THINK about it) if they are in pain. Everyone is familiar with this kind of thing, right? When there's something in our life that makes us unhappy or uncomfortable we'll probably hope it will go away. If it doesn't, we start with baby steps to change the situation. But, if that doesn't work, we get to the point that we can't take it any more. That mental or physical pain gives us the courage to take other steps that may be more a lot harder, but are more likely to solve the problem for good.
But is pain the only way to change? Will one have to submit himself to an awkward or uncomfortable situation so that she/he can become better? Is all change unwilling in the beginning? These questions just started to come to me yesterday, and I can't get them out of my head! So I decided that I am going to do a bit of research about change. What make people do it, how permanent it is for different people and all that. I think this could get pretty interesting......Lets start with the Bible Dictionary, shall we? I love it! I think its the one of the most interesting parts in there!
Change (see also Alter; Conversion; God; Eternal Nature of; Man, New, Spiritually Reborn; Sanctification) So obviously its talking about a change in your soul. Do you think it would be possible to inflict this kind of change on yourself? I mean, we hear about people going through trials and how it makes them better and blah blah blah, but is a trial the only way to truly change?! More thoughts tomorrow.
