Becoming “Me”–through Christ
“And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another” (2 Corinthians 3:18). I am not who I once was. But I am more myself than ever before. How can that be? Our culture tends to emphasize how our life experiences shape and…
