If we were honest, at some point in life we all sense a need for change. Perhaps we think of refining our appearance in some way, transforming our way of thinking, or altering the way we feel and respond to those around us. Just because we see this need or even desire to diversify, doesn’t mean we possess what we need to make a lasting transition. To truly see a significant shift in our lives, we must go to the power source for change – our Creator, Redeemer, and Transformer – Jesus. Only through looking to Him, will we realize our highest potential and learn to live on mission for Him. Keep in mind, too, that this type of real change is what the world around us needs. The greatest treasure we can ever give someone is the gift of pointing a person to Jesus. Yes, Jesus is what the world needs, because in Jesus we find hope, joy, and peace. These priceless treasures empower us to live life on mission and experience the abundant life promised to those who believe in Him.
Pray for the power to change this week.
- Praise Jesus as the Author, Perfector, and Finisher of your faith.
- Repent from any resistance you have as the Holy Spirit works to transform you into the image of Christ.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to affect change in your life and to help you affect change in someone else’s life this week.
- Yield to the Spirit’s power and obey!
