One of the most important qualities that I’ve sought after in my spiritual journey is malleability. In Isaiah 55:9, we are told that God’s ways are much higher than ours. This means that if we are going to become more like him, change and transformation will be the new norm. We have to become really friendly with the idea that we are not the finished product.

This is much easier said than done. It’s one thing to acknowledge that our behavior needs to shift in some ways, but it’s much more difficult to embrace the necessity for paradigm shifts and assumption changes. When we start to realize that the very lens we look through is skewed, the extent to which we’re willing to change will be put to the test.

This is why it’s so important to be malleable. The definition of malleable is…

capable of being extended or shaped by hammering or by pressure from rollers.

Can God stretch you? Are you aware of your own need for transformation? How much do you try to convince yourself and others that you are the finished product? The extent of your malleability will directly impact the extent of your growth this day, and every day that follows.
