Change

I ask, "Do we not want to be informed?
May God forbid that we be conformed.
May God grace us to be transformed. 

Even though some say, there is no better me or you,
Should we be in search of 'a better me, a better you'?
Others say, "Deep within, there's a better me".
Yet others say, "Whether surface or deep within,
There's not to be found in mortals, a better me".

Is change possible, or should we even bother?
Should there not be change wherever possible?
Are our flaws, stains, and ways even stoppable?
Is not The Blood of Christ still powerful enough
to wash away stains? And is not The Holy Spirit
still our Primary Helper for change?

Indeed, some things in our lives will remain,
but some things need never remain the same. 
And perhaps all will agree that, conditionally,
There is a better you, a better me.
