What I have observed in people who cone to God is that they change dramatically. Whether it be slowly or quickly, their charactercter changes. Gone are the old ways. They have new values and The Holy Spirit guides them/us and gives them the will and power to overcome. Even their faces change, a new peace is within them ad it is visible in their face. One of the.most beautiful things I have seen is when peoples face shine as they sing praise to God.
It is not just the person that changes, their whole life changes. God is amazing.
