Makeover shows are fun. You sit down with a bowl of popcorn and watch as a homely person gets plucked and prodded and squeezed into a pair of skinny jeans.
And by the end of the show a transformation has occurred—highlighted by two pictures shown side by side: The before and after.
It’s amazing what a little makeup and a good tailor can do!
But as great as these makeovers are, they’re only surface level. It’s still the same person underneath.
Only God can give us the soul makeover we need.
I love Psalm 66:16, which says: “Come and hear, all who fear God, and I will tell of what He has done for my soul.” (NASB)
If you have accepted Jesus Christ, His Holy Spirit is actively transforming you. And while we won’t see the completed makeover until we get to heaven, I’ll bet He’s already made a significant difference in your life.
Do you value different things than you used to? Are you kicking old habits to the curb?
No matter how visible the changes are, you are being transformed.
So take a few minutes to praise God for the work He’s doing in you—and look for an opportunity to share the difference He makes with a friend in the coming week.
Nobody does Before and After like Jesus!
