Called to be Transformed
April 20, 2026 | By Lynnette Burr-Lee |
Have you ever wondered what it means to present our bodies as a living sacrifice or to be transformed by the renewing of your mind?
For a long time, this scripture overwhelmed me, like a position in Christ I could never reach. But through prayer and seeking God through His word. I began to understand something deeper: God was not asking me for perfection; He was asking me to surrender/sacrifice.
I found out that God does not want part of our lives; He desires our whole life. When we surrender ourselves as a “living sacrifice,” we are honoring Him in our daily lives by the way we think, live, and act. With that being said, the world is in opposition to God’s word; therefore, the world will try to make us think and see things differently as it relates to God and His word.
“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.
– Romans 12:1-2 (NLT)
We must remember that transformation doesn’t happen overnight; it happens through an ongoing relationship with Jesus. Therefore, we must renew our minds in Christ so we may be transformed in His likeness. Our goal and our purpose are to know God and make Him known by the way we live, and that will prove that His Spirit lives within us.
“Lord, help me to renew my mind and live a life fully surrendered to You. Shape me into Your image and use my life for Your purpose, in Jesus’ name, amen.” – Special Prayer
