Be molded into Christ's perfect image.
As for my designated times of prayer, they are merely a continuation of this same practice. Sometimes, I envision myself as a stone before a sculptor, set to be carved into a statue. In presenting myself this way before God, I ask Him to mold His perfect image in my soul and make me completely like Him.
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. We all, with unveiled faces, are looking as in a mirror at the glory of the Lord and are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory; this is from the Lord who is the Spirit.
What would it look like for God to mold me into Christlikeness?
Do I trust God's plans to transform me?
