Transformation

Throughout the years as I have taught on the subject of transformation and as the Lord has taught me about that a concept of how life growth happens and how it happens in various seasons of our lives has stayed with me.

The concept the Lord gave me was a picture of a first grader. When you enter first grade you are a bit timid, a bit lost, and maybe a tad scared. As you go through the year and get used to your teacher and the subjects you are learning you get more and more confident with what your doing. Ideally at the end of first grade you are confident in how life works and have a certain mastery over it. Then what happens ? You go to second grade and new challenges, new subjects, new fears. Our lives happen like this after we are out of formal school. There is the school of Christ where we continue to go on and have new challenges, new subjects, and new fears to overcome. We never get to rest on last year, there is always a new year.

We are changed from glory to glory.
