Although it was a birthday celebration there was a time of sharing our testimonies. It’s so important to share where God has brought us from…. Many shared regarding the impact Margie (I call her mom) has had on their lives. One lady shared how Margie’s testimony caused her to want to pray for God to show her herself and by doing so she has seen change in her life. Yes, change. To often Christians forget that transformation is God’s desire for us . Just saying we are Christians and going through ‘outward’ motions that make us look religious and pious is not God’s plan for us. The transformation that he desires for us is an inward work that shows up on the outside. br /Superficial change is just that; superficial change. Surface level change never last and never elevates us to that place of knowing that we are growing in Christ. br /What does it mean to be transformed? To be changed? To look at the real you and see the changes God has made IN you? br /Transformed? Transformed in simple terms isnbsp;strongmetamorphoonbsp;/strongnbsp;and it means to change into another form, to transform, to transfigure and this is what God is expecting us to do. The process of metamorphoo is the same process a caterpillar goes through to become a beautiful butterfly. I’m not going to go into the process of becoming a beautiful butterfly because there is plenty of info available on Google. LOL br /I just want to knownbsp;what does it say when we say we are Christians yet we never ask God to show us ourselves so that we can become more like Christ ourselves andnbsp;have impact on others?
