The presence of self within us now represents our inclination towards failure, aimlessness, stubbornness, and vulnerability. However, we do not overly concern ourselves with this because we cannot completely fall. Therefore, we place our trust solely in Him. As long as we are on this earth, we will inevitably stumble and engage in actions contrary to our desires. The transformation occurs when we discover that He still loves us. Our weaknesses and shortcomings serve as evidence that He accepts us, not based on our own strength, but through His strength and love. The more we experience acceptance despite our wanderings, the stronger our desire becomes to please Him. He does not treat us as if we are equal or more capable than others in our world. Instead, He interacts with us in our fragility and vulnerability. It is akin to this: He magnifies His name by loving His own without needing to prove that one person is more capable than another. Instead, because we all belong to Him, He loves us all perfectly, allowing Him to receive glory when we love one another through His love working within us. We have already undergone a transformation within ourselves. There is no need for us to continually strive to remove our own desires from a position of power. Jesus has already accomplished this for us. When we were regenerated, our will was also renewed. Our old will was destroyed and replaced with a new one. The idea behind this is that we now live as if Jesus has already given His seal of approval to our endeavors, as He will protect, support, and faithfully guide us until the end, defending His own name.
