2 Corinthians 3:12-18

 12Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold. 13We are not like
Moses, who would put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from gazing at it
while the radiance was fading away. 14But their minds were made dull, for to this
day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed,
because only in Christ is it taken away. 15Even to this day when Moses is read, a
veil covers their hearts. 16But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken
away. 17Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is
freedom. 18And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being
transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the
Lord, who is the Spirit.

MEDITATION
1. When we rest in the splendour of God revealed by Christ, we find ourselves
changed by it.  Gradually, by degrees, we incline toward the divine glory and
it begins to overtake us.  This is by the power of the Spirit, which prepared
us for such growth beginning at baptism.  We are being transformed into
his likeness, the way that God had intended for us to be when he created us.
2. Though there are still warts and blemishes all too visible, I am growing and
changing.  In the ever-increasing glory of the transformation taking place,
“The Christian is the person who makes it easy for others to believe in God.”
Lord, help me to reflect more of your glory and to become easier for others
to believe in you.

Personal Note:

As I reflected upon the spiritual journey, I have seen God leading me in the path of growth.  He changed me from someone whom cared only for myself to a heart who is willing to lay down my life for God's glory.  I am far from perfect as I still have doubts, insecurities, wicked, and lazy thoughts.  I have faith that when I get closer and closer to Christ through being connected with Him, I can be a blessing in witnessing to others about God.
