2024: Being Transformed by Jesus

As I sought Jesus’s leading for 2024, I heard, be Transformed. Being transformed by Jesus 2024 was the message. Transformed. Just one word, but significant repercussions. Especially when it is Jesus doing the requesting … .

I have found over the years that only ones who actually enjoy change are those those implementing it. Personally, change is the last thing I want to do. It forces me to actually do something instead of just staying in my comfort zone. But then again, most of the things Jesus asks, tend to take me out of my comfort zone.

Praying about this with Jesus, I felt there were four areas in which He was asking me to change. Transformed with Jesus, Myself, Family, and the World. Once identified, praying some more, I worked on filling in the various action items for being transformed by Jesus 2024. The final result is what you see below. As to how I have been checking myself over the year, read up about Personal Accountability Groups.
