What does God want from you? Have you ever wondered that? I think most of us assume that God just wants us to be better. He wants us to be more joyful, more patient, more generous, etc. He wants us to behave – like our parents wanted when we were young. He wants us to be a better version of our present self.

But what if that weren’t true? What if the truth was far more magnificent and glorious? For instance, what if I told you that God’s desire wasn’t to make you a better version of yourself – but an entirely new kind of you all together. That God was at work with infinite wisdom and skill to make you into something breathtakingly beautiful, someone robed with honor and crowned with glory. Someone so beautiful that if you saw your future ‘you’ - you would be tempted to fall down and worship?
