Be Transformed.
>> Sunday, January 16, 2011
Today at church, our sermon was about being transformed.
Being transformed as we are first saved, then growing, then down the line having Christ at heart at most all times... being Christ centered. We want our hearts and our bodies and minds to be reformed, transformed to be more Christ like.
Something I've been realizing is that I work for the package so hard. I try to do and say and live all the things that would glorify God but I often do not ask God to help me in doing this. I often do not invite Him to help me do this. I feel I should do it because I am a Christian. I should do it - but I have to remember to invite God to be part of it and tho I ask Him to lead me... so often I focus on the ways of the Lord instead of the Lord. Clear as mud?
I guess I am just realizing that I can't do it all on my own, I need to ask the Saviour to do it through me and help me.
With love,

AMEN! I just wrote you an email before I saw this! I'm so happy that you made it to church :)
Sounds like a great sermon!!!
Indeed trying to "do" in the flesh is not like letting God works in and tough us!!!! Real change comes from the Lord, when we have a teachable spirit and do not work against the Lord (in our flesh and sin) He does great things:-)
Tamara, I'm so glad too. I needed it!
Renee, that's where I think I am finding myself in *some* areas is that I'm trying and doing pretty well and DOING IT - but not letting God do it THROUGH me. Thus the pressure turns on and I feel like I have to do it all. My eyes were really opened today about that.
Cassidy,
Oh this minsiters to me so much. Thanks for sharing your outlook on this. I so relate. I also need to change that.
