Jesus invites us to come as we are, but he never
allows us to stay that way. His goal is to make us
like himself. Our job is to let him. It's a
transformation that means I let go of who I am,
what I want, what I think is right and surrender it all
to him as he makes me like Christ. I am still
struggling to say "yes" to him and "no" to me. It's a
transformation that takes a lifetime, but I long to be
like him...to see glimpses of him in my words, my
thoughts and my love for others. It's a surrender of
all I am to all he is. Paul described it this way, "Put
on the Lord Jesus Christ and don't say "yes" to the
flesh." Today I will be working on this once more.
