Once an adversary of Jesus' followers, he became the great defender and teacher of the believers he previously persecuted. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Transition--a word that has become a popular buzzword in our day--has been greatly misunderstood,\" according to Tavares Robinson. \"Some equate transition with change, but the two words do not have the same meaning.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobinson details the process of the believer's transition as a necessary step for growth. He recalls a statement from a neighbor who is a pilot: \"For us as pilots, it's all about the journey, but for passengers, it's all about the destination.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBelievers are often impatient and desire results immediately. In fact, \"Our hurry to reach our destination can apply to our relationship with God. . . . but he is a God of patience who takes delight that we learn from each step of the journey,\" Robinson asserts. He explains four steps to becoming transformed by God's work in our lives: \u003cbr\u003e - Detachment--A moment of leaving everything behind. Think of Jesus' disciples, who had to respond to him when he said, \"Follow me. I will make you fishers of men\" (Matt. 4:19).\u003cbr\u003e - Disidentification--A process of losing our image and our identity. Think of Naomi, who lost everything.\u003cbr\u003e - Disappointment--A wake-up call to who we really are. Think of Nicodemus, who realized that he is not the person esteemed by his peers.\u003cbr\u003e - Disconcertment--A time when we feel lost, alone, and unheard. Think of Job: \"Behold, I go forward but He is not there, And backward, but I cannot perceive Him; When He acts on the left, I cannot behold Him; He turns on the right, I cannot see Him\" (Job 23:8-9).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat do these four steps lead to? Transformation. But when? The triumphant end of Transition: Reforming the Heart for Growth explains God's promise to those who persevere. May one of those overcomers be you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tavares D.
