"And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is Spirit." 2 Corinthians 3:18
As I read this passage this morning I couldn't get away from that passing phrase - 'are being transformed into his likeness...'
If I am truly following Christ and seeking to model my life after Him, then there should be evidence of my transformation into Christ-likeness. My thoughts, actions, words, decisions, choices - all should reflect that I am looking to live my life in honor of The King of Kings.
Where am I falling short? Where is my life a reflection more of what I want instead of what Christ deserves? What am I putting ahead of Christ as an idol? The reality is that if something else is driving me, motivating me, or influencing me, then THAT has become my focus of worship, my idol. That also may be what I'm transforming into. YIKES!
Like many of us, I struggle daily with making sure that my choices, my actions, my words all reflect my pursuit of Christ and His will for my life. This world has NOTHING for me so that shouldn't be getting my attention.
Live today as if He were telling you where to go, what choices to make, what direction to take. Allow His thoughts to become yours, thus transforming your mind into His likeness. Then the world will know that you are His and He is in you.
