TRANSFORMATION
No matter whether you identify with saintly John or reckless Peter, all is well for both of these were characters in need of transformation! Both were with the Lord when he was himself ‘transfigured’ in front of their eyes up that special mountain. You may have a special place where you find it easier to feel close to God, perhaps even like the one pictured, but he doesn’t need to take you there to transform you! God has been working on you, your character and your spiritual maturity ever since you first worked out that he loves you. You are a work in progress and God sees already the finished product so he’s not about to give up on you – he knows all the experiences, circumstances, people, times of plenty and want that you need in the stages of your refining. Be encouraged and recognise God’s continuing work in making you into what you will yet become.
