The great daily makeover

The loss of heart is discouragement. Inspiration fades when there’s no hope of improvement. When I received Christ into my life at 11, I was not an instant spiritual giant. I could have looked at the godly people I respected and lost heart because of the spiritual growth gap.

But accepting Christ launches the “Great Daily Makeover.” Gradually, we are transformed into Christ’s image. (ROMANS 8:29) This occurs daily, in tiny increments, as we fellowship consistently with Him through prayer, His word and worship.

A wealthy, cultured gentleman adopts a street waif. The day the adoption papers are signed, the boy is in the family. But daily he has to learn how to live as a member of the family. It takes years to transform a kid off the streets into a polished person.

I had 11 years to learn how to be a sinner. I still have a long way to go to measure “to the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ” (EPHESIANS 4:13), but my heart is encouraged with the fact that daily His “Great Makeover” is progressing!
