2 Corinthians 3:18

"And so we are transfigured much like the Messiah, our lives gradually becoming brighter and more beautiful as God enters our lives and we become like him." 2 corinthians 3:18 msg.

I really enjoy watching the Olympics.  I especially enjoy learning more about the Olympians.  I like to know their story of how they first got started and how they've kept themselves motivated to achieve success and then to watch them perform their best. 

But there is something far better than that.  Watching Jesus, the Master, transform a person's life.  Watching the anger they've held onto slip from their tightly fisted fingers.  Watching forgiveness fall off the hardened lips of bitter souls.  Watching people love others instead of remaining distant and cold. Why? Because they've let Jesus in and while they listen to Him, their lives start to change for the better!

Will you let Jesus into your heart and life?  Won't you let Him break through and make your heart His home?  When you do, your life will be a letter written to the world of God's love and rescuing power.
(Suggested reading: 2 Corinthians 3:7-18)
