COME TO ME with a teachable spirit, eager to be changed. A close walk with Me is a life of continual newness. Do not cling to old ways as you step into a new year. Instead, seek My Face with an open mind, knowing that your journey with Me involves being transformed by the renewing of your mind. As you focus your thoughts on Me, be aware that I am fully attentive to you. I see you with a steady eye, because My attention span is infinite. I know and understand you completely; My thoughts embrace you in everlasting Love. I also know the plans I have for you: plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Give yourself fully to this adventure of increasing attentiveness to My Presence.

Scripture Insight: Romans 12:2 and Jeremiah 29:11
(Jesus Calling / Sarah Young)
Romans 12:2 - "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will"
ReplyDeleteOur refusal to conform to this world's values, must go deeper than the level of behavior and customs - it must be firmly planted in our minds - "be transformed by the renewing of your mind." Only when the Holy Spirit renews, reeducates and redirects our minds are we truly transformed.
