Be Transformed

WRECKED BY THE LOVE OF JESUS

This week, we are talking about transformation. But, this is a transformation that is even better than the before and after photos you see on social media. This is a HOLY transformation bought by the blood of Christ and achieved by the strength and sufficiency of God alone. It is a transformation born of submission to Jesus and His ways.

Come along with me in my transformation story.

I’m a woman who was wrecked by the love of Jesus, and I didn’t even see it coming.

I had built my life on my philosophy of me. I was stuck on me. And I was sick of me. Sin kept me from realizing that life is about making God the point of everything I do. And here’s the crazy part: Once I made God the point of my life, He seemed to say, “Hey, everyone, this is My daughter; listen to her! She spends time with Me, so she knows some of My secrets – the ones you are running around like crazy trying to figure out.”

God is using me in some of the ways He used Jesus. And He wants to do the same with you.

To this day, when I am feeling stuck and lacking hope, faith, or the ability to love, I am pretty quick to realize that I am the problem because I have made myself the point. My love for God continues to tear down any monuments I build to honor myself so that God can continue to build His temple in me.

I am not the woman I used to be. His love has transformed me, and God wants to change you similarly. Will you let Him?

Reflect:

In God’s quest to restore us to right relationship with Him, He offers us a three-step makeover.

It begins with salvation (saving you from you), followed by restoration (giving you back the true you), and finally moves into transformation (making you more Christlike).

Would you say He is nudging you toward one of these steps, or are you and God actively participating together in one of these stages? Explain.
