God Sees The Masterpiece You’re Becoming (Even While You’re Still Taking Shape)
When God redeems us by turning our hearts to believe in Christ, we experience the radical nature of spiritual transformation. Within this space, we spiritually evolve—not just improving from what we once were, but undergoing a complete regeneration.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
2 Corinthians 5:17
To be ‘in Christ’ means embracing an entirely new identity—the thoughts we used to think, the behaviors we used to engage in, the beliefs we once harbored—all are challenged and shifted, marking a decisive break with our past self.
When we experience such an identity shift, our self-perception, purpose, relationships, and everything attached to our former selves must also be reborn. This change affects all we experience, but this purifying process allows us to walk with new energy, a transformed mindset, and a renewed spirit.
Even when we don’t feel new, God remains the active agent enabling our transformation, guiding us to live out our new creation status and gradually aligning our daily reality with the spiritual truth that ‘the old has gone, the new is here.’ Embrace this shift, for it is the path towards living in pure alignment.
Transformation in faith often brings both renewal and discomfort. While God’s promise of new creation offers freedom and purpose, letting go of old patterns can feel disorienting.
Growth in Christ means acknowledging that transformation is a process—some parts of the old self still cling tightly, even as new life begins to take shape. Trusting in God’s work allows the believer to live more fully in this new identity, relying on His strength to overcome habits and mindsets that no longer serve the spirit. Even when evidence of change isn’t yet visible, faith assures us that God is steadily at work within, shaping us day by day into a reflection of His transforming grace.

Here, she speaks to how we radically transform for the better if we’re willing to surrender to God and His divine plan.
