What would you teach us about change?

I'm assuming that most or all of you are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. And if you don't like change, I recommend you join another church. I'm not trying to be silly or sarcastic.

We are to come unto the Savior, we are to follow Him, and we are to be born again. We are to experience the mighty change of heart. Repentance is change. Learning and education produces change. The essence of our mortal experience is to not remain the same.

Oftentimes people will say, "Oh, just leave me alone. I like the way things are." Well, God doesn't like things the way they are in us. I'm not saying that in a negative way. It's not that He's unhappy, but we are not here in this mortal existence to just stay the same.

We are blessed with remarkable spiritual gifts. The restoration of the gospel teaches us our eternal purpose and destiny. And you don't achieve that destiny by just hunkering down and staying the same. The natural man and the natural woman hates change. The man and woman of Christ learns to love change and the lessons that are learned in the process.

So I think that's one of the fundamental aspects of overcoming the natural man and the natural woman is not resisting change, but embracing change and learning from it.

Thank you.
