Change...


God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, but we are not. Each day, ours is the challenge to access the power of the Atonement so that we can truly change, become more Christlike, and qualify for the gift of exaltation and live eternally with God, Jesus Christ, and our families.

Elder Russell M. Nelson, Thanks be to God, May 2012 Ensign

You know, I had never thought about change like this before.  There is a saying, There is nothing as constant as change.  There are only 2 things that don't change- God and truth.  Everything  and everyone else changes and is expected to.  God wants us to change and become more like Him.  When we finally become like Him in every way, then change is no longer necessary.   Another word that could be used interchangeably with the word "change" could be the word "learn".  God doesn't have anything left to learn. He knows everything. 

The important thing to keep in mind is that when we change, it should always be towards God and goodness and not the other way.  Change for change sake alone isn't good.  It is what we are moving toward.
