Transformation

Until we get to heaven we are all in the process of a transformation.  For some reason that word has been standing out to me lately....transformation.  The dictionary defines the word transform:  a. to change in composition or structure b : to change the outward form or appearance of  c : to change in character or condition

That last part "c:" is what I want to see in my life.  A change in my character and condition.  The condition of my heart, my attitude, and my character.  When we are Seeking God first in all things we will automatically be transformed.  Our hearts and minds will be transformed, but I also bet that our outside appearance will change as well just as "b:" says.  Joy will radiate in our faces and and something about us will just "look" different.

I want to be continually transformed.  I am asking God today to help me be transformed into more of His likeness.  I am not even sure what areas he wants to transform and so I take a risk in even asking him that!  But I want it no matter what it takes.  I want to seek Him first in all things and allow His holy Spirit to change me as he sees fit.  The goal is to change me....no one else. To see my own sin.....no one else's. To be humbly transformed by the only one who really matters. My Lord and my Savior.

So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are transformed into his glorious image.  2 Corinthians 3:18
