He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
\n \u2014 Philippians 1:6<\/p>\n
When we set out on a new journey or season, it can be easy to feel discouraged, as if the process of change is taking too long or the work isn\u2019t happening quickly enough. Sometimes we wonder if the growth we desire in our lives will ever truly take place.\u00a0I\u2019ve been there\u2014often questioning if I would ever truly grow past certain struggles. But Philippians 1:6 is a reminder that God is not finished with us yet. He began a good work in us, and he is faithful to complete it.\u00a0This reminds me of a time in my life when I was overwhelmed by all the changes that I felt were needed in my life. I tried to rush things, but the harder I pushed, the more frustrated I became. It was during those moments of struggle that God gently reminded me that he is the one doing the work, not me. God\u2019s timing is perfect, and he works in ways that I can\u2019t always see or understand.\u00a0Take comfort in knowing that God is working in you. Your transformation might not happen overnight, but God will complete the good work he has started in you. Trust in his process and know that, as you walk with him, you will become the person he created you to be.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lord Jesus, thank you for the work you are doing in me. Help me to trust your timing and to believe that you are faithful to complete what you have started. Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
