Everything is just temporary. Nothing will be permanent. Our God’s love is an exception. In order to live, we must accept changes. Metamorphosis. A process where changes occurs. We all go through this process. Accepting changes is a sign of growing up. Grown enough to face challenges and problems that God could give anytime, anywhere.

We are all born with the same looks. We came out from our mothers’ wombs with eyes, ears, nose and mouth. But we cannot yet speak and see at that time. Months and years will pass, and then we’ll just realize we can already use all of our body parts. It is because our body develops everyday. And it brings change. A kid will go through puberty and it will bring change. A teenager will still grow into an adult. Then an adult will be old looking. All related to the word change. Not just with humans. Even in trees. From a simple seed to a hundred feet tall tree. Joeys who only depends on their mothers’ pouches and later on you’ll see them as a fully grown Kangaroos, now carrying their own babies.

But changes does not only occur physically. As I’ve said, ‘signs of growing up’. Accepting changes, knowing the difference between right or wrong, or real or fake. Helping the needy ones, solving math problems, ability to observe, writing essays and foreshadowing your future are all signs of your mind’s development. I’ll say this for the nth time. Development brings change. Try to imagine yourself 5-15 years back then. A kid who only wants to eat, sleep and play. Then look at yourself now. Have you already grown up? Knowing you can face all challenges of life and God will never leave you with nothing. It means you’re growing up. Using your talents in the best way it could be, doing things you cannot do before. It all falls up into these words; Development and Changes.

“Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to words of knowledge”

Proverbs 23:12

We must never be discouraged. Because any challenge life brings to you, God will always be there.
