I want to be different. You want to be different. We all want (and need) true transformation. But what exactly does that mean? Who exactly do we want to become?

Change Needed

It’s easy for me to articulate the things I don’t like about myself. My thighs are too fat, my neck is too wrinkled, and my nose a tad too big. Unfortunately, only plastic surgery can fix that.
Actually there are much more important things that I don’t like about myself, inner things, character flaws typically known as sin:

• My tendency to think I know it all
• The way I leap to judgment before I have all the facts
• The tone of voice I use with my son
• My desire to have everything my way
• My lack of faith
• My easily discouraged heart

If there were a Kim Avery version of the Bible (and let’s all be glad that there isn’t), I’m sure there would be a verse that read like this:

For Kim is one of God’s messes,
He got frustrated with her long ago,
and gave all the good things He planned for her to do to someone else.
I Kim 2:10

Thankfully, that verse isn’t in the Bible, in any version. Instead, God says this:

For we are God’s masterpiece.
He has created us anew in Christ Jesus,
so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
Ephesians 2:10 (NLT)

I am a masterpiece. You are one, too. And Scripture is continually exhorting us to grow into who He has already made us to be. And I’m ready.

Transformed on Tuesdays

Beginning tomorrow, I would like to take each Tuesday to search and discover who God made us to be and then learn how to fully engage in His transformation process.

Additionally, each weekend I plan to post a short list of things that God may (or may not) be calling you to incorporate into your journey of transformation. So be sure to stop by both Tuesday and Saturday to expand your thinking regarding what is possible with our amazing God.

I can’t afford to waste another day. I want to be all God created me to be.

Are you with me?
