2 Peter 1:16-17
…but we had been eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received honor and glory from God the Father, “This is my Son, my beloved, with whom I am well pleased.”
I still feel that the Lord God is changing me. Still, I will not be the judge of myself. Those people around me must feel the change in me and within me. Change comes and it goes. When it comes, it feels like it's going to last forever. It can make you feel like the world is ending. But as long as you hold on, and remember that tomorrow, more likely than not, things will be better, you can make yourself feel good. I must tell myself the truth: I am ever changing, ever growing, ever gaining tools to better serve God and this world in a positive way. I am beautiful and I can get up and continue forward always.
In the transfiguration, Jesus has shown to His disciples His divinity. He practically changed from a mortal one to a Heavenly being equal with God the Father and the Holy Spirit. I may not be able to attain that divinity in my lifetime here on earth, but that should what we shall aspire for – being perfect for our Father is perfect. Day by day, I left each moment to God. It was my goal and desire to turn to Him for every decision, every thought, every feeling. I knew that this was how I’d been created.
Let us pray +
Almighty Father, upon the mountain you revealed our Messiah, who by his death and resurrection would fill both the law and the prophets. By his Transfiguration enlighten our path that we may dare to suffer with him in the service of humanity. Continue to change my heart and my whole being so we may follow You willingly, and so share in the everlasting glory of him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, One God, forever.
Amen +
The Lord is king, the Most High over all the earth.
