16 But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

18 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 changed into His glorious image.
(2 Corinthians 3:16-18)


Thought for the day:
Transformation begins when we see Jesus,
not only as useful, but beautiful.

5So don’t lose a minute in building on what you’ve been given, complementing your basic faith with

good character, spiritual understanding, 6alert discipline, passionate patience, reverent wonder, 7warm friendliness, and generous love, each dimension fitting into and developing the others. (1Peter 1:5-7 MSG)


15 I am the Lord, your Holy One, Israel’s Creator and King. 16 I am the Lord, who opened a way through the waters, making a dry path through the sea. 17 I called forth the mighty army of Egypt with all its chariots and horses.

I drew them beneath the waves, and they drowned, their lives snuffed out like a smoldering candlewick. 18 But forget all that – it is nothing compared to what I am going to do.

19 For I am about to do something new.See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland. (Isaiah 43:15 -19)


“But now, says the Lord who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine. (Isaiah 43:1)
