“You haven’t changed a bit.”
It’s said as a comment of flattery; to reassure someone of the consistency of character over time.
It sounds like a compliment.
Hopefully, it’s not true.
Hopefully, you have changed. Changed for the better. Improved. Developed. Matured.
The alternative would not be a reflection of unchanging consistency. It would reflect, if anything, getting worse.
It’s not always obvious where the change happens, but here’s hoping the change is there to be seen as a sign of growth in life and not decay to death.
For His Name’s Sake
Shalom
