Thoughts on Today's Verse...

"Transformed ... with ever-increasing glory." In other words, it's an ongoing process. The beauty of this truth is that with the continual help of the Holy Spirit, we're going to arrive at our goal - the Spirit is transforming us to become more and more like Jesus! The message is that we must not give up on our journey. We must keep looking to Jesus and reflecting his character, his compassion, his love, and his holiness, while we trust that the Holy Spirit is doing God's work in us, making us more and more like Jesus each day.

My Prayer...

Father, please forgive me for the times when I've let my faith grow complacent, and I've lost my focus on Jesus. Please bless me as I try to be more intentional in my plans, especially my spiritual maturity. Please make me more like Jesus each day. I offer myself to you that I might become more JESUShaped. In his name, I pray. Amen.
