Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—His good, pleasing, and perfect will.
-Romans 12:2
Transformation is an ongoing process. Patterns of behavior, thought, and feeling are rooted deep in our instinct to seek stability and safety. We return to these worldly patterns when we are fearful and uncomfortable.
The process of growing closer to God meams constant change and long-term improvement. Mistakes are made along the way and we must refocus our minds on the journey.
