Becoming a different me

We all want to be better people – but how do we do that? Do I simply try to make fewer mistakes. That certainly would help, but that’s not the end goal. I can’t just be a different me…..I need an inward regeneration. I actually need to become a different person – from the inside out. I need to realize that I have idols that need to be thrown away – that part of me that needs to be number one, to maintain an image that can’t be sustained because it’s not real, to always want to be in control and to fulfill all my pleasures. Idolatry is the essence of sin. I need to reject idolatry and seek humility. That is a completely different me.
