Scripture: “Be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect.” — Romans 12:2 (NRSV)
Reflection:
Transformation is not about escaping the world but engaging with it in a new way. When God renews our mind and heart, we begin to see others through compassion rather than competition. Inner renewal expands outward; it changes not only how we think but also how we live, give, and relate. The Spirit reshapes our instincts from self-preservation to self-giving.
Application:
Pause before making a decision today and ask, “What choice best reflects the heart of Christ within me?”
Writing Prompt:
Where in your life do you feel God calling you to think or respond in a new way?
Prayer:
Transforming God,
renew my mind with wisdom
and my heart with grace.
Let your Spirit guide my thoughts
so that my life may reflect your will.
Amen.
