Transformed in His Image

2 Corinthians 3:18

And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

We were all created in the image of Our Heavenly Father.  We were created to be with Him and be one with Him, one with Jesus Christ and one with the Holy Spirit.  Even though we have been burdened by the stench of the sin of the flesh that God cannot accept in His presence, we can still look forward to the day that we will shed our burden and join Our Father in all of His glory.  As Christians, the stench of our flesh has been removed by the blood of Our Savior for all eternity.    

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we come before you reeking of the stench of sin.  We have sinned against you in every measure.  We seek the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives so that we may repent of our sins, we may turn away from everything that displeases you and turn toward everything that is pleasing to you.  

Father, we seek your strength to be perfected in our weakness.  Give us the strength of the Holy Spirit to overcome the daily torments of our flesh and the regular attacks of the enemy.  As Your redeemed children, we claim Your promise that we will stand before you one day in the image of Your Son and hear the words, "Well done good and faithful servant."
