The Lord is the Spirit, and where the Lord's Spirit is, there is freedom. All of us are looking with unveiled faces at the glory of the Lord as if we were looking in a mirror. We are being transformed into that same image from one degree of glory to the next degree of glory. This comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

2 Corinthians 3:17-18 CEB

This is what our God is about, bringing change one degree, one step, one percent at a time.  

Change that makes us more like Jesus. 

Transformation.

We are beloved.

And we are changing.

It may be thoughts, actions, patterns that we need to put down, patterns that may have served some good purpose once, but are not a reflection of Jesus.

And it's new patterns, thoughts, truth, choices, that we can pick up that are the fruit of the Spirit.

This is the Spirits work in us, one degree, one step, one moment, one choice at a time. 

What is it that the Spirit is prompting?

(This is deep personal work that we can invite others into.)

Am I willing to let God's Spirit shift things in me? 

To change me?

This can feel scary becuase it's unknown. The unknown is just that, unknown, but when we step into that with someone who loves us, who holds us and promises never to let us go, well, we can step into the unknown anyway.
