TRANSFORMERS

Romans 12:2 NLT 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.

Our son used to have Transformer toys and he’d enjoy transforming a plane into a truck or a robot. They’d look all bent out of shape, but because he knew what to do, they transformed before our eyes into something new and different!

We too are Transformers! Our spirit has already been made perfect in Christ, but our soul is still in the process of being transformed by His grace.😊

If we’re stubborn though, or think we know better, then our transformation will be slow and we’ll remain stuck the way we’ve always been. We’ll still be like a caterpillar and not reach the glorious butterfly stage! No matter how pretty the caterpillar is, it still can’t fly!

I hope we’re not still the same person we were even last year. If we’ll let His Word speak to our hearts and change our thinking, we really can be transformed! And look at the reward - knowing His will!😊

It will involve erasing some thoughts and replacing them with God’s thoughts and God’s words. It’s a bit like deleting files on a computer, but erasing on its own won’t work, we have to then replace them with God thoughts and we find them in His Word.

Ephesians 4:23-24 NLT Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on the new nature, created to be like God - truly righteous and holy.

So if we’d really like some transformation in our lives, let’s read God’s word more, and let Him change our thinking to help us erase the junk that holds us back and replace it with His truth which sets us free. I know I want some of that, don’t you? Amen.

Have a very blessed and transforming weekend.x😊
