God's Means of Conforming Us to Christ
Romans 8:29
For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son…


A Christian friend calling upon a poor old woman in Scotland expressed sorrow at seeing her suffer so much pain. "Oh," said Jeanie, "its just an answer to prayer. Ye see, I've long prayed to be conformed to the image of Christ; and, since this is the means, I've naething to do wi' the choosin' o' them. That's the end I seek. It is ours to aim at meetness for His presence, and to leave it to His wisdom to take His ain way wi' us. I would rather suffer than sin any day."
