In our third devotional and this series on Transformation, we're going to take time today to look at what it means to be continually transformed.

We serve a God who is always for us and always with us.

In his power and love,

he wants to continually mold and shape us

into his likeness,

that we might enjoy this life

for all that it can be.

May God stir up our hearts

to accept change and transformation

in him today,

as we make space right now for him to come and move. Welcome to the first of teen podcast. Our verse for today comes from Romans 12, verse 1, where Scripture says,

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.

Oftentimes, we see transformation as a one-time act. We find a problem and work on it until it gets better, and then we go back to living life

as normal.

But the heart of God is for continual transformation.

God longs that we would be so open and aware of the desire of the spirit, that we allow

him to transform us every moment of every day.

Too often, we just accept that we are who we are, as if the God we serve didn't have the power

to continually set us free. We live as if the Holy Spirit is a God who only shows up every now and then to shake things up

and then retreats back into the heavens.

But God is both loving and present.

He is always there for us.
