Extreme MakeoverGod wants to give all of us an extreme makeover, which will include freedom from bondages or addictions, and restoration of our self-esteem and confidence—a total spiritual rejuvenation.3. Develop a Pattern of DisciplineIt takes discipline to allow God to complete the work of a total wardrobe makeover and to move from hurt, past shame, and unforgiveness to a new wardrobe of joy, mercy, grace, and forgiveness.
