Spiritual Transformation

Thursday’s Reflection

THE IDEA BEHIND SPIRITUAL TRANSFORMATION is that, in Christ, we become like Christ. Because of the grace of the gospel of God and the activity of the Holy Spirit, we can embark on a lifelong process to become more like Christ. This kind of transformation always involves the whole of life. It gives form to the Christian life. And this is something I want desperately. I want a life in Christ where Christ ties together every loose thread of my varied interests and responsibilities into a single whole.
