Transform. It seems that throughout life, we constantly transform. Our thoughts run in a direction we are not happy with. What do we do? We set about to transform those thoughts into something beautiful, uplifting, loving, giving, and positive — thoughts that make us feel better and see others in a clearer light.
Bodies of assorted sizes. Tall, short, thin, fat, large bones, small bones, a full head of hair, fine, sparse hair. So many areas to focus on. We cannot alter our stature – if we are tall, we are tall; if we are short, we are short; we can do absolutely nothing about that.
Thin bodies are not so troubling to many, while others do their best to gain weight by eating and drinking rich foods and beverages.
Fat bodies are always troubling. If not to the person wearing the body, then to someone else who thinks that body needs to be brought into submission to a strict diet.
Body types can be excruciating for the owners. The thin body may refuse to gain weight despite consuming rich food and drink. The fat body may refuse to lose weight even on a 700-calorie-a-day diet. Could it be that some bodies are just intended to be the size they are? They may change a few pounds up or down, but never significantly.
Transforming what is on the inside could be much more important but not visible to outsiders. Let’s suppose one has a beautiful/handsome face and a perfect body (whatever that may be at any given time) yet is very judgmental and hurtful to others.
While transforming the outside may make one’s appearance more appealing to others, one’s attitude and actions remain unchanged. It is helpful to oneself to change a mindset of negativity to positivity, from complaining to thankfulness, from dislike to like, from rejecting to accepting, from selfishness to selflessness, and from uncaring to caring. These are just a few transformations one can work on that will significantly enhance one’s life and, at the same time, have a tremendous impact on others.

“And do not be conformed to this world (any longed with its superficial values and customs), but be transformed and progressively changed (as you mature spiritually) by the renewing of your mind (focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes), so that you may prove (for yourselves) what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect (in His plan and purpose for you). Romans 1:2 (AMP)
