Spiritual Transformation

There are different types of change in this world. When we look at science, there are two: Chemical and Physical change. When you say Chemical change, it means a change in the matter’s chemical composition. Like when you burn paper, its properties are different from what it was before. When you say Physical change, it merely means a change in the form, but in essence, the object still has the same chemical makeup.

We see these different types of transformations around us on a daily basis, never really realizing that the same change can be applied to our spirit as well. Spiritual change takes on different meanings for each one of us. It may start with an unknown God-given catalyst. Spiritual change is the best type of transformation anyone can undergo. It changes a lot of things, but most importantly, it changes the perspective, the actions and the life of the person experiencing this phenomenon.

This may be triggered by an event in one’s life. One fun fact about spiritual change is that it is a choice. We may have all these wonderful and touching experiences, but how do we see it? And more importantly, what do we decide to do with the experiences that we have been given?

16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.  17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.  18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.  (2 Corinthians 4)

The eternal glory will surpass anything that will try to weigh us down and stop our transformation into the eternal beings that God wants us to be. He wants us to be happy with Him in His Kingdom. It is up to us if we want to have this spiritual transformation in our lives to be able to slowly align ourselves with the will of God.
