 Reflection Questions
1. Am I what I want me to be? Or what God
intended me to be?

2. Did I already achieved the best that I can be? If

not what are the things that I still need to
improve on?
REFORM
 “Do not conform any
longer to the pattern of
this world, but be
transformed by the
renewing of your mind.”

Romans 12:2a
 Romans 12:2 MSG
“Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fix
into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on
God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily
recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to
it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you
down to its level of immaturity. God brings out the best out
of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.
Food for Thought:

Have you ever imagined a country without

any law?

Or a school without any rules?
