Change of Mind

Don’t follow what society says is right. To experience God and have the highest feeling of self-worth, and to live life to its fullest, your thinking must drastically change. Instead of centering your desires upon yourselves, satisfy the good and perfect will of God by seeking to help others. — Romans 12:2 The Discussion Bible

The world shouts, “Only do what is socially allowed.”
But peace doesn’t come from the praise of the crowd.
To live life to its fullest and to feel truly free,
Let your mind change and think differently.

Don’t chase after glitter or worldly applauses,
For lasting joy isn’t found in flattery clauses.
It blooms when you love and give others a lift.
That’s how you unwrap God’s wonderful gift.

Selfishness says, “Serve me,” but the Spirit says, “Go.
Pour kindness and truth everywhere that you know.”
For as you help others, you will soon understand:
You’re grasping the heart of what God has planned.

So don’t blend with patterns of what the world tries.
Let God reveal his thoughts through his love in your eyes.
When your mind takes his shape and your heart’s set above,
You’ll live life to the fullest—a mind transformed by love.
