You're not a finished product, and that's great news, God is still working on you.
Three Thoughts
God doesn't start things he won't finish, which is great news for us. If he began a good work in you, he's not going to abandon it halfway through. Have peace knowing that he is faithful to finish what he started.
PHILIPPIANS 1:6
The more you focus on Jesus, the more you will reflect him. The Spirit works within you, transforming you from one degree of glory to another. So if you want to change, spend more time looking at Jesus.
2 CORINTHIANS 3:18
God has given you a new heart and a new Spirit. What used to be hard as stone is now soft because of him. If you feel stuck, remember this: the God who turns stone into flesh is the same God at work in you.
EZEKIEL 36:26
Two Quotes
Author Hannah Whitall Smith on our will:
“God always takes possession of a surrendered will.”
Pastor and author Francis Chan on the Spirit in our life:
“No one who is yielded to the Holy Spirit can remain the same.”
Prayer
Lord, sometimes I get impatient with the progress I’m making, or lack thereof. But you’re not. You’re faithful to finish what you started. I surrender my will to you. Keep changing me, one degree of glory at a time. Amen.
Question
What do you need to surrender to God today?
See you next Thursday,

P.S. The new Brooke Ligertwood album “EAT” has been on full blast in my car lately. So many phenomenal songs.
