We Are A Work In Progress

"Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny." ~ C.S. Lewis ~

Trees that endure the stormiest times grow the strongest. The same can be true with a person. Hard times can build character making us a much stronger person.

Years ago my friend Eugena gave me this Bible verse. "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 GNT

This verse has encouraged me especially in the hard times of life. It's wonderful to know that our Lord has begun a good work in us. Even every hardship we go through can build character and make us a much stronger person. We are a work in progress. Our transformation will be complete when Jesus returns. (see 1 Corinthians 15:51&52)

Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny.
