So, here we are, trying to live in grace, but we’re still such a work in progress. What’s a girl to do?
Romans 15:7 says, “Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.” The word “welcome” here in the Greek means to “take to one’s self.” Accept. Welcome. Receive. Not reject, not push away–AS CHRIST has not rejected, not pushed away, but accepted and welcomed you.
Philippians 1:6: “And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
Philippians 1:6 says God BEGAN the work and He will COMPLETE it. Hebrews 12:2 says Jesus is the AUTHOR and PERFECTER of our faith.
Can I be patient with God’s work in my own life, as I daily walk past that old bathroom in the dusty works of a remodel? Do I repent of my sin and trust that God is not finished with me yet?
P.S. I included the Philippians 1:6 verse it one of my new printable Scripture card collections (top left below) now in my Etsy shop! I really love how it turned out.
