Transformation -

The story of The Wizard of Oz is a pretty old story but I believe can show us something that within our normal lives we end up doing today. Too often we go through life believing if we can just get some secret ingredient that we will be different and our lives will become as we feel they should be. But the deception that we live with something missing is a lie, it started back in Eden when Eve was tempted with the belief that they weren’t like God, that the fruit would give them that ability. The truth was they were created in God's image, they were like God but they believed a lie.
Here in The Wizard of Oz the Lion, Scarecrow and the Tin man, the same story is playing out, what they needed was already within their being.
In trying to chase after what they believed was needed to allow them to live a full life, or to complete their destiny kept them doing allsorts until a defining moment required them to Be different.
They stopped thinking about themselves and what they believed they needed and stepped out to help Dorothy who was trying to get home. And so we see that all the time they were trying to get something they already had. They allowed their minds to deceive them to chase after a thought of lack. When God created you, you were complete. Everything you need for your future is in you now, there is nothing missing.
Maybe the missing ingredient for you is focussing on others rather than yourself then watch how the real you awakens.
Our powerful God does not do things by half, look at creation around you nothing is half grown or lacking, everything God put His hands to he said It was Good.
Today believe that you do not need anything added to make you whole, just Be who God is calling you to be and believe what God's word says. You are who you are; enjoy the fact that you are complete.
Romans 12:2 Do not conform any longer 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.
