Sometimes we are tempted to wonder how it is that continues to work with us. We sense our weakness. We can identify moments of carnality, selfishness, and even outright sin. We stare in a spiritual mirror and it seems like we see anything but Jesus staring back at us. It would be so easy to lose hope that we will ever become the type of Christian we know that God desires us to be. The reason we do not, cannot, and will not lose hope is because we do not trust in ourselves. God is committed to finishing you one day. Until then, we need biblical help in not giving up during the long process of the Father making us into the likeness of the Son.
