Transformation

That I was curious how this topic would be handled is an understatement. We are talking about the last session of the Spirit Seminar. The topic for the evening - Transformation.
..
How do we define Transformation in the Christian context? It is centred on the perfect and eternal love of God. "For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but has everlasting life." John 3:16 God sends his Only Son to give us enlightenment, to open our hearts, eyes and ears that we may receive the Spirit of Wisdom and be transformed into the New Way and the New Life, He has shown us, that we may rise above the turmoil , the darkness, the fear and entrust ourselves fully, to the care of the Loving Father in Heaven. The gift of a faith that will move mountains and give new life.
..
Our talented and dynamic speaker for the night, SisterGetrude banged the nail straight on the head when she said that, it is crucial that transformation must start and begin from within, one must have the desire, to want change and start to action change before any good could flow out to touch and transform others... our thoughts, our words, our actions and deeds..- Christlike . . .
..
When we experience Transformation, we become aware of our sinful state, and our heart and soul cries out in repentance. Our eyes are opened to our own imperfect state, and we become more humble and tolerant to the imperfections in others. We become less judgemental; more generous; we become more willing to come down to the level of others; reach out and embrace others and in so doing, unleashed the power of goodness, peace and love to radiate outwards...bright enough to touch the hearts of each and everyone in this universe to bring about positive and powerful changes ....for that universal transformation. Remember the world is made up of ticking hearts and souls....
..
How wonderful it would be if every individual in this universe experiences this positive transformation , if our mindset changes for the better; if each and everyone of us are empowered with the wisdom of choice and that choice leads us into the kingdom of God. The world then will be a much better place to live in and the Peace which God intends us to have , fills and brims over, filling the whole wide world ....
..
Yes, I echo the thanks and acknowledgement to all members of the prayer group, the powerful musicial voices of the Youth Group .....and to you, yourself sister.....the sharing, the total WOW factor! Hey people you were great!! Till the next LSS!!
