Philippians 1:6 NLT – And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.

We are all on a journey of growth. None of us are perfect. None of us are without sin. We all fall short at times. But there are two great things we can be assured of in Christ. Firstly, when we fall short and we confess our sin, God forgives us (1 John 1:9). Secondly, we can know God is still working on us. He is constantly chipping away at our faults and weaknesses and shaping us in to the person He wants us to be. Philippians 1:6 reminds us that God has started a good work in us and He will continue to work on us until Jesus returns. Like the image above, we just need to continue to walk with Jesus and then trust His process.

Prayer

Dear God, thank You that You continue to work in me to bring change and growth. I am thankful that You will continue this work until Jesus comes back. Help me to remember that I am Your work in progress. I pray that I will continue to walk with You each day. Amen.
