Transformation
“I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?” (Isaiah 43:19, NRSV.) “If anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17, NRSV). The risen Christ continually moves to bring us into oneness with God. It is in that relationship that we can become “the deep self that we have always longed to be” (Flora Slosson Wuellner). This transformation occurs from the inside out. We long for it and we fear it. What are the challenges of transformation and how do you meet those challenges? What spiritually grounds you in the midst of or compels you toward transformation? What gifts are available to us through allowing God’s transformation to occur?
