We just completed a three week renovation at Abundant Life. We took several hundred unused square feet and created a new cafe space to allow us to have more room in our sanctuary. The transformation process was extremely difficult and time consuming due to making repairs to an old building. During this time period we all were looking forward to seeing the finished produce. Here are a some thoughts about the parallel of our physical transformation and our own spiritual transformation.
1. Transformation requires commitment.
2. Once you start the transformation anything less than completion is view as failure.
3. Learn from the struggles of the journey.
4. Thank the people who help you along the way.
5. enjoying the benefits of the transformation is priceless.
I know that there are many other parallels, but these are the ones that stuck out to me. You can't become all that God desires for you to be without being transformed. So the biggest lesson is for all of us to realize that in the end what God desires for us to be transformed into is greater than what we could have imagined.
