We are perfectly shaped to His purpose for our lives

Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you. Romans 12:2 MSG

Let us be “Unshaped by the World” but shaped to His purpose for our lives. Romans 12:2 says, “Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out…. God brings the best out of you.” Pay attention to your surroundings and how they make you feel. God gives us emotions for awareness; don’t ignore what you feel, but stay attuned to what He’s trying to tell you. Seek Him, don’t settle in with your surroundings.

Reflection from Let’s Read the Bible Together (Haggai 1, Haggai 2, & Zechariah 1)

“Then Haggai, the messenger of the Lord, spoke to the people with the Lord's message, saying, I am with you, says the Lord.” Haggai‬ ‭1‬:‭13‬ ‭NRSV‬‬

Roman’s 3:23-24

We have not been nor never will be perfect, yet we are perfect to Him.🙏🏽💚🦋🌈

We are perfectly shaped to His purpose for our lives, my friend.
