We're always being worked on....




As humans,
we are 
always
always
always
being worked on
inside
our 
very 
depths...
because
God loves us...
so deeply
He won't give up
on us. 
 
 Whether we are 
jobless
"jobfull" (like me) 
and being s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d
in every area
of my life...
whether we are
sick
or healthy,
single
divorced
or married,
tired 
or energetic,
a morning person
or a night owl,
a millionaire
or a paupernaire,
angry
or full of joy,
lonely
or in love,
overweight
underweight
or a 10,
we are all
a work in 
p-r-o-g-r-e-s-s...
Our Father God
will use every
detail
of our lives
to bring out
our weaknesses
our strengths
and cause us to 
cry
long
pray
and
RUN
to 
HIM!
 
The good news
is...
He WILL finish the work
He
started
because 
He loves us...

 Amazing, isn't He?

...being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ: Philippians 1:6

Barnes' Notes on the Bible Will perform it - Margin, "Or, finish" The Greek word - ἐπιτελέσει epitelesei - means that he would carry it forward to completion; he would perfect it. It is an intensive form of the word, meaning that it would be carried through to the end.

God abandons nothing that he undertakes. There are no unfinished worlds or systems; no half-made and forsaken works of His hands. There is no evidence in His works of creation of change of plan, or of having forsaken what He began from disgust, or disappointment, or lack of power to complete them. Why should there be in the salvation of the soul?
