Refined

It is beautiful to remember God is creator, not man. Man only inhabited the earth and did what it does best: In pursuit of meaning, or purpose, man chose to opt out of the hard search realizing that it takes effort, discipline, and love; instead man went with a dull and numbing pleasurable way of life. More pleasure over contentment, more destruction over painful awareness, more selfishness over selflessness, and more idolatry over perfect love. Created in his image, not as him, but to be like him. God is love. Image of God is love. We are to be love. Don’t take pleasure in being numbed. Take the pain of being real, being free and being love.

Romans 12:2
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is- his good, pleasing and perfect will.
