God Keeps Working In Us

"being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." -- Philippians 1:6

 I want it now. I want to be patient and kind. I want to be generous and giving. I want to reflect God's glory back to everyone around me.

In other words, I want to be perfect today. I want to stop making the same mistakes again and again. I frustrate myself. How much more must I frustrate God?

But He is patient and kind. He is generous and giving. His Goodness reflects on all of us, including me and all my imperfections. God never gives up on me. He sees me for the work in progress that I am.

One day I will truly be the person God created me to be. In the meantime, I'll keep working on myself as He continues to work in me.
