The Bible encourages all of us to live "transformed" lives, devoted to pleasing God: "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. The man who does the will of God lives forever." (Romans 12: 2; 1 John 2: 17 NIV)

And during World Youth Day 2008, Pope Benedict XVI affirmed the Christian's transforming purpose, accomplished through the gift of the Holy Spirit. "In the end, life is not about accumulation. It is much more than success. To be truly alive is to be transformed from within, open to the energy of God's love. In accepting the power of the Holy Spirit you too can transform your families, communities and nations."

But sometimes we need help responding to the call to live transformed, Godly, selfless, loving and truly impactful lives.

To help, GIFT has created a one-page Spiritual Transformation Guide to support us in recognizing and addressing not only our spiritual needs, but also the needs of others.

Review the Spiritual Transformation phases in the Spiritual Transformation Guide. Evaluate where you are today. Identify areas where you want to grow in God's love. And consider how you may help others advance their own spirituality, based on where they may be along this transformation journey.
