Transformer

"Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." ~Romans 12:2

This verse means a lot to me because I have placed so much value in material things that will eventually lose value. I discovered that the reason why I was a shop-o-holic was because a loack of self worth and character. I assumed that I could increase my self-worth with material objects. I’m glad I don't believe that anymore.

I’m still fighting against my shop-o-holic way of thinking. However, I will always have very expensive taste. I now realize that I should present my entire body as a living sacrifice to God because Jesus paid the highest price to purchase me. At the very least I will conquer my way of thinking on a lot of different issues.

Thank you Heavenly Father for showing me grace when I was lost.
