...Transformation.
...realizing the things you wanted 3, 5, 10 years ago no longer apply, because you have been transformed through salvation. And knowing that if you keep pursuing Christ, he will continue changing your desires to be aligned with his. Awesome.
"What idea have you of the salvation of your soul? The experience of salvation means that in your actual life things are really altered, you no longer look at things as you used to; your desires are new, old things have lost their power. One of the touchstones of experience is - Has God altered the thing that matters? If you still hanker after the old things, it is absurd to talk about being born from above, you are juggling with yourself. If you are born again, the Spirit of God makes the alteration manifest in your actual life and reasoning, and when the crisis comes you are the most amazed person on earth at the wonderful difference there is in you. There is no possibility of imagining that you did it. It is this complete and amazing alteration that is the evidence that you are a saved soul." -Oswald Chambers
