RENEWING YOUR MIND

This post is taken from "JESUS LIVES" , a devotional by Sarah Young, Author of" JESUS CALLING".  I really love this so I wanted to share it with you.   RENEWING YOUR MIND     DO NOT BE CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD,BUT BE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND.I understand your struggles; I know that the world exerts relentless preassure on you, trying to squeeze you into its mold. This is why you need time alone with Me. When you open up to Me and invite me to transform you, I can work freely in you and accomplish amazing things. One of My most challenging tasks is renovating your mind, and My Spirit is always at work on this project. He does not overwhelm you with His Power. Instead ,He prompts you gently and convicts you cleanly-showing you where you need to make changes and helping you develop new attitudes. Many Christians are unable to discern My will because their minds are entangled in worldliness. The glitter and glamour of this world distract them from Me, so they do not sense My nearness. As you are transformed by the  renewing of your mind, you progress in your ability to discern My good and perfect will. You also become increasingly aware of My loving Presence with you. This awareness is so pleasureable that it draws you ever closer to Me-increasing the effectiveness of My work in you, creating an upward spiral of transformation. thus you grow not only closer to Me but also more like Me. This is a fortaste of what is to come when I am fully revealed: YOU WILL BE LIKE ME, FOR YOU WILL SEE ME AS I AM.         BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY : "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."  ROMANS 12:2               Hope everyone has a day blessed with God's renewing and transforming power.
