Some days more than others I feel like I am a "work in progress". I can see my shortcomings, I am painfully aware of how much I complain to the Lord rather than praise him.
I wonder if I am making any real progress at all.
" 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." Phil 1:6 (NIV)
This scripture is a comfort to me. See, we do have our part to play, yet it is Christ who is doing his work in us. He is the potter, we are the clay.
Our job is to allow the transformation, not cause it. To agree with the Spirit and move along with him. We are like a sail that has been raised, full of wind. Just hang on, and let the power of the Spirit cause the movement.
And it is comforting to remember, he knows what he is doing.
