"Under Construction"....that's me!

Romans 12:2 "...be transformed by the renewing of your mind..."

I was watching a public television program last night about restoring vintage camping trailers.  These guys would find an old Airstream  and make the outside look like it had just come from the factory.  But the real work was on the inside.  They gutted them and rebuilt the insides to their personal specifications.  These customized interiors were not just restored, they were made new ("renewed").  Every trailer, though they might look alike on the exterior, was a unique creation on the inside.

It's like that with us.  God wants to make us new from the inside out.  This "renewal" process keeps going until we get to Heaven.  While on earth, we're never a finished project.

Renewing...it's a joint process between the Holy Spirit and us.  He uses God's Word and our daily walk.  We read, memorize, meditate on Scripture and the Holy Spirit applies it to our experience to grow us, to renew our minds, so that each day we think more like Jesus. (Col 3:10; 2 Cor 4:16; Tit 3:5; Eph 4:23; Ps 119:9,11)
