Renewal

Just as our body regenerates itself on a periodic basis, so our hearts have the power to renew themselves over time. I believe that as we grow; our hearts and minds will either change as we attempt to better ourselves or become hardened in our bad habits and worldly mindsets. Paul addresses the issue of instant renewal in Romans when he says,

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”

If you long to break loose from conformity to the world; if you long to be transformed and new from the inside out; if you long to be free from mere duty-driven Christianity; if you long to offer up your body as a living; then give yourself with all your might to pursuing the renewal of your mind.

How do you renew your mind? I would suggest that you can not renew your mind; but you can only die to yourself and let God do the rest. What do you think?
