at my home church. One of them is my sister, the other is
one of my best friend's sister, and the other is a good friend
of both my sister and my best friend's sister.
Before talking about what my title stated, we were talking
about the Holy Spirit and how it transforms us. We then
went into the topic of the difference between conforming
and transforming. We know that conforming is following
what is "in" in the world and transforming is completely
changing to something different.
During the Bible Study, God has shown me a very good
analogy to distinguish the two. The analogy is a pretty fast,
flowing river. We know it's easier to swim with the flow of
the river, but much harder to swim against the flow. Same
thing for conformity and transforming. It is easier for us to
conform what people around us think it's right and harder to
be transformed to go against them.
Anyways, this came up because the girls were sharing that
it was difficult to go against their group of friends in high school.
That triggered a brief moment of reminiscing about my high
school. I was exactly in that same position where I cared more
about what my friends think rather than what is the truth.
It's very humbling for me to see that God has changed that
mindset now. It brought immeasurable joy towards God for
slowly changing me to be more bold, unashamed of my faith.
I pray that these girls realize that (hopefully soon but that's up
to God to bring certain situations/events to bring about that
change in them).
