We must have a burning desire at all times to be changed increasingly into Christ’s likeness- because God will not change us if we ourselves do not desire it. But if we have an eager longing to become like Jesus, and prove that by judging ourselves and purifying ourselves daily, then God will be delighted, even if our progress is slow. If we have a willing mind, God accepts that (2 Corinthians 8:12)-because God sees in the seed (desire) the potential for the full-grown tree (likeness to Christ). So we must have a strong desire to change in every area where we see ourselves as un-Christlike. Thousands of believers pray that they might be like Jesus; but very few mourn in secret over their failures in their thoughts and attitudes, where they are not like Christ. The few who mourn are the ones who really desire for change- and they alone will be the ones who God changes progressively into the likeness of Christ.

What is something we, as God’s people, must always remember?
