Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
—Romans 12:2
Max Lucado wrote a book which he simply titled 3:16. He knew that most people who purchase religious books would connect 3:16 with John 3:16, one of the best-known and loved verses in the Bible.
May I also recommend 3:18? 2 Corinthians 3:18 and 2 Peter 3:18 are verses about growth and change.
2 Corinthians 3:18 says, “Beholding the glory of the Lord, [we] are being changed into his likeness from one degree of glory to another.”
2 Peter 3:18 says, “Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”
You’re not the same person you were a year ago. Your body has changed. So has your mind and spirit. Over some of it, you have no control. Over some of it, you do. You won’t be the same person a year from now.
Change is inevitable.
You are in charge of the direction.
