Transformers, more than meets the eye

Story of the day:  Transformers, more than meets the eye

Transformers is coming out tomorrow and it got me to thinking about these robotics and how they transform from something unrecognizable into something recognizable.  These robots completely change from the inside out.  It’s a much deeper transformation than we could ever imagine.  The more and more I thought about this, the more and more I began to think about how we:

Constantly try to reform ourselves.  Stores are filled with self-help books claiming to hold the secret to personal reformation.  But such efforts are only temporary at best.  A deeper transformation is needed–a transformation of the heart.

And it is possible!  The Bible teaches that when we come to Christ, we are spiritually born again.  God’s Spirit comes to live within us and changes us.  Our motives change, our objectives change, our dispositions change, our eternal destiny changes.

No, it doesn’t happen all at once.  We will spend the rest of our lives learning what it means to follow Christ.  But it begins now, as we open our hearts to Him.  Is your life “being transformed…from glory to glory?”  [Billy Graham in Hope for Each Day]

Bible verse of the day:  2 Corinthians 3:18

“But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.”

Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for transforming me from my old self into my new self.  Father, Your Love has transformed my life into something beautiful and I grow each and every day by the things that You show me.  I pray that I am not conformed to this world, but that that “I am transformed by the renewing of my mind so that I will be able to test and approve what God’s good, pleasing, and perfect will is.”  Hebrews 12:2 

In Jesus Name I pray,

Amen
