Illustration: Fixing My Face

While on a hiking trip for the first time, Dad noticed his little boy kneeling at the spring looking at his distorted reflection in the water. He observed his son taking both hands and pushing his face this way and that.

His dad said, “What’s wrong Son?”

His son replied, “I’m fixing my face.”

The world will try to squeeze us into its mold, Romans 12:2, but we are commanded to not allow this to happen!

Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
