May 31 - Groan and grow

Scripture focus: The Holy Spirit and our spirit together bear witness that we are children of God. And if we are children we are heirs as well: heirs of God and coheirs with Christ, sharing his sufferings so as to share his glory. What we experience in this life can never be compared to the unrevealed splendor that is waiting for us. The whole creation, which was made unfulfilled by God, is waiting with eager longing, hoping to be freed. From the beginning till now all creation has been groaning in one great act of giving birth; and we too, who possess the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait to be set free. Romans 8:16-22

I don't know all the ins and outs of how to acquire a transformed life.

But God does.

For this day, I am choosing to let that be enough information to order my day around.
