Change
People are anxious to improve their circumstances but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound. (James Allen, 19th-20th century British philosophical writer)
Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi famously echoed that sentiment: “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” It’s clear that it’s not the environment that determines our life’s direction. And we realize that we can’t depend on government or religion themselves to bring the change we want. Lasting change must begin with each of us, encouraging others to follow suit.
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed [changed] by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is. (Romans 12:2)
