Conformed to His image:

Romans 8:29

29     For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren;

          

            There is no doubt about it … we will become conformed to the image of Jesus. It may not look like it right now, but it will happen. That conforming comes over our lifetime. We should be coming closer and closer to that image as we grow in the Lord. He doesn’t want us to sit back and coast into Heaven. We should be allowing the Holy Spirit to have more and more control over our lives. As we do, we become more and more like Jesus’ image. We’re to be so much like Jesus that the devil can’t tell us apart. We are predestined for this!

If you could hear God speak to you, I believe this is what He would say:

            "This is My plan for you … that you be as My Son was; that your life shine forth as His. I planned this long ago before there was a world. We desired this, and I set about to bring it into existence. I will make it happen. I will bring you into the same grace as was His. Your life will conform to that of His. You will be like Him in all ways. I have decreed it, and it will come to pass in time if you allow Me to work in you the way that I worked in Him.”

            43. I am predestined to become conformed to the image of Jesus. I will become just like He is. I have no doubt that it will happen because God predestined it.
