"The Biggest Loser" takes us through the journey with those who are trying to lose weight and the results can be astounding.
Makeovers, from personal appearance to homes, inspire almost a sense of awe as the dirty becomes clean, the broken becomes fixed and the used becomes like new.
One of the attractions of such shows is how anything can be transformed, and the worse the condition; the more astounding the final results.
Have you ever wondered why we enjoy those stories so much?
Maybe it is because all of those stories give us a glimpse into the ultimate makeover, defined for us by the Maker of heaven and earth himself.
"And we who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the spirit." ~ 2 Corinthians 3:18
The Lord God Almighty is able to transform anyone, and the worse the sinner; the more astounding the final result.
He takes lives dirty with sin and makes them clean by his blood and forgiveness. He takes broken dreams and replaces them with His own. He takes the used and restores their former beauty.
These changes, however, do not come easily as losing weight is not easy and remodeling a home is not easy. It takes time and determination.
Transformation from the inside out begins with a relationship with the all-powerful, all-knowing and always present God of the universe! :)
The more time we spend sitting in His presence, seeking His face and dwelling on His attribute; the more we will become like Him.
It is not impossible for anyone, for nothing is impossible with God, and I have seen personally His awe-inspiring transformation in my own life.
Who will join me on this journey to perfection?
