In spiritual growth, it is never a good idea to tell people, "I've changed." If and when we have indeed changed, they will tell us.
If they're not telling us, it just doesn't show yet which doesn't mean we haven't changed, it just means it is too early to be apparent. We need to keep focusing on our spiritual goal (which never is to brag about our changes...or anything else for that matter).
In fact, to try to convince others of our changes is to ensure they will not see them, and we will lose that which we're so proud of. Their resistance to our brag invites our resistance to their unbelief...and it's same old, same old all over again. There is no growth there, spiritual or otherwise.
Be still, and know that I am God.
Thank You.
