2 Corinthians 10:17

So whose approval are you seeking today?  Who do you want to like you?  The reading plan is about transforming your heart to be less focused on seeking approval from the world to being satisfied with the approval of Christ.

Magazines, influencers, blogs, trends. The beautiful is defined. Success is prescribed. The different is provided. Even when society shouts comparison, God whispers acceptance.

Translucent is the name of my latest album, and I believe there are no songs without lived experiences. So, based on my reflections, I wanted to create this devotional—a journey where we explore how integrity, vulnerability, and a heart open to God’s transformation allow us to live authentically and with purpose. Together, we’ll discover how embracing His work in us—both in who we are and who we are becoming—enables us to reflect the light of Christ in every aspect of our lives.

This is part 2 of 4 in the Feed Middle School series Unboxed: Created in God's Image. This plan unpacks Lesson 2: Changed Forever. Jesus calls us to live with a different perspective than the world around us—to be transformed by him instead of conformed to the world. Comparison threatens to ruin this, but by God’s strength, we can be transformed.
