I am blessed to have a family with an income. My husband and I receive money from his work, and then we can spend that money on whatever we want. The bills get paid, we buy food, we put some away for savings, and then we buy things to help make our apartment feel more like a home. During the past few months while we've been moving in, we've been adding to the decor of our apartment. One week we'll buy a few curtains, the next week some bookcases. Though we may have made some large shopping trips to Target in the beginning, we're now just slowly yet steadily adding to our home.

I like to think that God does the same thing to us in our lives. In Matthew 6:33 it reads:

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

We are in constant development. Maybe in the beginning when we first turned towards God we made some pretty big changes and improvements on ourselves, but God is still always looking to improve and add to what we are.

Just as a side note because it came up in this section. In Revelations 22:18 it says not to add to what was written in that book. Mormons get a lot of flack from this because people read it as saying that the heavens are closed and there are no more scriptures yet to come. We interpret it as "don't add to or change the book of Revelations" as there are plenty of scriptures that were lost by the other Apostles, the book of Revelations was put at the end of the Bible for arbitrary reasons, because God said himself that his words were without end, and because if this verse is taken literally then according to Deuteronomy 4:2 we need to throw out pretty much the entire Bible.
