Transformers

In bible study we have been looking at being a changed people. And my mind keeps returning to it. We are to be changed - transformed to be like Jesus. Just like a transformer toy changes from being a car into a man we are to be transformed day by day to be like Jesus.At times  I think I get stuck in the process of transforming! Bits of me don't want to transform - I want to stay as I am. My selfishness, pride and laziness gets in the way. So I become part car part man! Thats not a good look.

But look what happens if we are transformed - we will be able to know God's will for us and become mature. Transformed from the inside out.

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. ² Do not conform 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 v1-2 NIV

 So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you. Romans 12v1-2 The Message
