Get transforming

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:1-2

Thank You God, that you give us the gift of lofty aspirations. (290)
You want us to be changed. You want us to see through Your eyes.
You want us to offer our daily lives in sacrifice, as worship.
You don’t want us to be the same as everyone else.
You want us to think differently, to live differently, to be non-conformists.

When I think of transformation I think of change, of growth.
Thank you for our children; constantly growing, learning, changing, maturing.
