Every day of our lives, by means of the
Holy Spirit’s agency, God is steadily working away to achieve in each of us the character of his Son.
Transforming us involves both IN-forming us
and RE-forming us — but there is often a fair bit of time that elapses between
the two.
Sometimes that means today’s lesson is only
understood later this week. And sometimes full understanding of any given
piece of spiritual information is years or even decades away.
