“Believing For His Work In You!”

 In our pursuit to grow in God’s love and in His Word sometimes we focus too much on where we are NOT growing rather that how far He has brought us. With any work that needs done in us there needs to be a time of waiting for His loving hand to work, and mold us with His loving hands. I guess there are all times we wished He would work a bit faster, but His wisdom encompasses more than we will ever understand. As He works, He promises that the transformation will indeed happen, but remember sometimes we can tend to be impatient in that which we have to wait for. Let us not stand in the way of our Lord’s work in us.

                 “I’ve never met a man who has given me as  much trouble as myself.”
                                                                     ~Dwight L Moody~


Be encouraged today that as you are applying yourself to do that which is right and good in His sight that His loving hand is at work in you. While we need to be aware of areas we need to grow let us guard ourselves from focusing on our weaknesses but rather the gifts, the strengths and abilities He has blessed us with. As we keep our hearts humble and open to Him, He will be faithful to show us the areas in which we need to give attention. He leads and guides us into ALL truth in every area of our lives! God bless you.
 
 
 
Philippians 1:6  Amplified Version
 
“I am convinced and confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will [continue to] perfect and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus [the time of His return].”
