Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God. – Romans 12:2
Is there something about yourself you would like to change?
It could be something big or something small. Maybe it is a bad habit, a persistent sin, or even struggles like anxiety and worry. Whatever it may be, we all have areas where we long to see transformation.
Seeing Yourself Through God’s Eyes
Imagine looking at yourself the way God sees you. While you may focus on failures or weaknesses, He sees your potential. Where you see inabilities, He sees the gifts He has placed within you. Even when discouragement weighs you down or pride clouds your vision, God views you through the lens of His perfect love. His perspective is filled with hope, purpose, and grace.
God’s Plan for Your Life
God has a plan that is good, pleasing, and perfect. His desire is for you to love Him, worship Him, and serve Him while experiencing a life of joy and contentment. This kind of life does not come from relying on ourselves. Instead, it comes as we humbly believe in Jesus and follow Him. As faith takes root in our hearts, doubts, fears, and selfishness begin to fade. In their place, God fills us with peace and strength.
Renewed and Transformed by Faith
Romans 12:2 reminds us that transformation begins with the renewing of our minds. God calls us to turn away from old patterns of thought and behavior, but He does not ask us to do this alone. We cannot rebuild ourselves by our own effort. True change comes as we trust God to work within us. As our faith grows, we discover His power to reshape us into who we were always meant to be. In Christ, we are not just different—we are renewed and transformed by His love.
