Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 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. Have you ever watched a leaf fall from a tree, followed it with your eyes from the branch to the ground? If the conditions are just right it seems to dance through the sky all the way down. It has let go of the branch and now it is being transformed into nourishment for the forest floor. The leaf has a new purpose now. Paul urges us to be like the leaves. To let go of the patterns of the world and let God transforms us into his purpose. It isn’t an easy thing to do but when we do we will be able to find God’s will and purpose for our lives.
Prayer Holy God Give us the joy of the leaf that dances to the ground as we surrender to your will. Transform our lives as we let go and find the purpose you have for us this day. Amen
