Becoming Beholders

New Year, New Me! - or so goes the (cliched) New Year's saying. But creating new habits to bring change is easier said than done. By the end of January, despite our best efforts, those resolutions can feel like a distant and unfulfilled hope. In II Corinthians 3, the Apostle Paul speaks of being changed; but he isn't talking about becoming better versions of ourselves, he's talking about complete transformation. And this transformation doesn't come through our own striving - what we do - but through what God is doing in us by His Spirit as we're made more into the likeness of Christ.
