Becoming Who We Are

We all have 3 versions of ourselves. There's the "Ideal You" which is the you that you usually present to the world. The "Real You" which is the you that you only show to certain trusted family or friends who have earned your trust. There's also a "Real, Real You" which is the you that is eternal. It's the You that was created in the image of God that Jesus created brand new. There are forces that conform us in this life - positively or negatively. In Romans 12:2, Paul is asking us to consider all the ways we have been conformed and then challenges us to be transformed by renewing our minds.
