Transformed

Our way of thinking, our actions, and the words we speak have a lasting impact on others. Moreover, when our actions are genuinely Christ-driven, we can be confident knowing that He will draw others into Himself. Therefore, it is critical that as believers in Christ that our interactions with others reflect Him – loving and caring and a source of hope and peace. (Romans 15:4)

It’s undeniable that we live in an imperfect world, and we are imperfect people, but Jesus was our example of how to live a life of sacrifice for the betterment of humankind. When we lead from His perspective and connect with others on the principle of living a Christ-centered life, we discover the perfect will of God and rest in His peace (Romans 12). 

So even though we fall short, we can rely on the Holy Spirit to teach us and guide us if we surrender our will to Him and Him alone. He will transform us. And as we grow and evolve into the likeness of Christ, we will reap the goodness of God and all He has to offer (Deuteronomy 11:26-29).

Prayer: Lord, thank You for Your goodness. Teach me Your ways and transform me into Your likeness so that I reap Your goodness. And help me to share Your goodness in every relationship that I have. In Jesus’ name, amen.
