You are supposed to be transfigured. You are supposed to allow the holiness and glory of God to shine forth for the world.
This Lent, discern why you are doing what you are doing. Here are some practical ideas that might be able to help you to root out self love. What can we do?
- Seek and analyze the intentions behind your actions.
- When people speak poorly about you leave it alone. Don’t do anything. Let the Lord deal with it.
- Don’t see praise or approval from people.
- Don’t talk to much about yourself.
The transfiguration is about imitating the life of Jesus. Be transfigured to live life like Jesus.
