“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” (Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭2‬ ‭NLT‬‬)

- Today, “Let God” came leaping off the page. - Gods not going to force you to change! - His transformation starts when you give Him permission to transform and change you. - It’s when you give Him access to your heart and mind and then work with Him. - He will begin with your mind because a changed mind leads to changed actions. - God doesn’t just change you a little bit at a time. He wants a complete transformation! - This is a metamorphosis. - It’s the same as the worm that become a butterfly! - When you see a butterfly, you never think, “what a beautiful worm with wings.” - You see a butterfly as a completely different creature. So different that you can’t even see the worm anymore. - And the butterfly never says, I wish I was a worm again! - No, the butterfly loves to spread its wings and gracefully fly and show its beauty! - That’s what God wants to do in you! - His transformation that He has planned for you is so beautiful that you can’t even comprehend it. - He wants to renew your hopes and dreams! - He wants to give you hope in the hopeless areas of your life. - He wants to give you joy in the areas where you were depressed. - He wants to fill you with His gifts - He wants to empower you with His presence. - He wants to bless you in areas of your life which you think feel like it’s cursed. - He wants to give you new visions and dreams that are far beyond your abilities! - And it all starts with you letting God in. - Give Him the permission to transform you! - Don’t resist His presence one more day! - Today is transformation day! - Have a great Wednesday!
