Thoughts on Today’s Reading

Have a blessed day with the presence of Jesus Christ!

God is at work, preparing a people to populate His new world. His purpose is to conform them to the image of Christ. This means that God‘s purpose for each one of us is to be transformed in our character, such that we more fully reflect the character of our God and increasingly live a life of love and good work for God’s purpose. We may welcome our daily life transformation process that shapes and prepares us for the world to come.

Our transformation takes place in the midst of our daily lives and is multifaceted as it
involves every area of our personal moral life. It also includes family work and ministry. Yes, God has a place of service in His kingdom for each of His children. Every life is a plan of God. God has plans for each of us in our own generation. For us, God has perfect plans which He has prepared beforehand that we should walk in them and be transformed till we will see Him as He is in glory.
