The first time i heard of this term Work In Progress was at a wedding ceremony.Sure enough not only in marriage are we works in progress but also in our day-to-day lives.Recently I have found myself feeling pressured over a few issues here and there and I felt like prayer wasn’t working for me.I was reminded of how many weaknesses I have and I couldn’t be more discouraged.I took to the net to search for some of the great christian men and women that I look up to.All had a known bad past,admitted weaknesses and many other faults.I couldn’t be happier!
Many times we beat ourselves over some aspects of our character and feel insufficient.We badly want to reach the levels some of our friends are.What we fail to realise is that God continually works in us to make us like Him.He takes as long as is necessary to achieve the desired result.Rick Warren’s book ‘The Purpose Driven Life’ notes that we are being formed characterwise here on earth to be like Jesus.
When you fail in that endeavour don’t give up,dust yourself.Don’t struggle too hard,look up.Always remember that you are a work in progress and God isn’t done with you yet.Blessings.
