Be Transformed! Six Ways We Are Changed to Become More Like Christ

3. Know Your Real Starting Point

People often make a crucial mistake in the transformation journey—not knowing their true starting point. If my destination is Chicago and my starting point is New York, I will travel west. But if my starting point is Los Angeles, I will travel east. Knowing our specific starting point, or more precisely, identifying our core strengths and weaknesses that affect the change process, is vital for a successful journey. Our efforts to change are often derailed by our lack of honesty in identifying and admitting our personal deficits. Be honest and really assess who you are today.
