A BETTER YOU AND ME

2 Corinthians 3:18 AMP And we all, with unveiled face, continually seeing as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are progressively being transformed into His image from [one degree of] glory to [even more] glory, which comes from the Lord, [who is] the Spirit.

Have you ever thought, ‘I’d like to be a better me’? Those days when you know we could have done better, or we should have known better? Well, the good news is God really can change us to be who He designed us to be but it takes time.😊

It involves changing our perspective on how we see things. The thing is, we have to want to be a better me, to be all God has called us to be.

None of us can change without the power of the Holy Spirit because we know New Year resolutions and will power only last a few days. 

The power we need to be Overcomers, comes through constantly leaning on the Holy Spirit and His supernatural power, to be listening for His nudge, to be aware when He’s telling us to be quiet, or to go and do something for somebody. God calls it producing the fruit of His Spirit. It’s not the fruit of our spirit, but the fruit of His!😊

Jesus said “Do unto others what you would like them to do for you”. It’s a call to be unselfish, to be thoughtful, to be willing to go the extra mile. It’s learning to trust His promises no matter what it looks like, and not trust our feelings.

God changes us day by day, little by little and He promises to take us from glory to glory, but we have to be willing to let Him do it, to want to be a better you, a better me. 

Wouldn’t it be good if 2026 is the year we say, ‘Lord, here I am, faults and all, please help me be a better me, make me the ‘me’ You want me to be, to be like Jesus, for Your glory.’ Amen.
