Ultimately, it is the renovation of the soul that God desires to accomplish in you.

So little teaching on the soul brings about confusion. If I am to make any headway in transformation and the soul at the center of who I am, my Dana OS, then I am invited to think deeply about my soul.

The key starting point  is in realizing I am not contained in my body. I am not only a physical being. I am a spiritual being who has a body.

We get so enamored by all things scientific that we miss out on the most important aspect of reality. Not measured by any lab instruments.  Lasting for eternity.

Just as the physical body, the soul needs proper care. The soul lasts forever. It is not a ghost that leaves our body and floats around after we die. The soul is a non-physical entity that isn’t limited to our body’s boundaries.

Caring for the soul centers on spiritual disciplines which bring refreshment to our existence. Our souls are grievously damaged over the years. Abuse, betrayal, abandonment, and other destructive forces in our lives chip away at our identity. We need God to “renew” us.

Make us new.

We need to give ourselves over to God's care.
