Thought for the Week
I have a good hairdresser. By which I mean I like how she makes me look. I trust her, so after a brief discussion I can enjoy browsing through a magazine while she gets on with her work.
Once upon a time it was a challenge for me to trust God. I was confident his plans for me were good, but I just wasn’t sure I’d like the new person he wanted to change me into. Just realising that that was an issue was helpful. It was also good to understand he’s not in the business of making clones; his people will all be uniquely different even though we’re all becoming like Christ. Now I appreciate the changes he’s made in my life and I’m looking forward to him completing the work he’s begun in me.
“In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 1 v 4-6
