A Faithful God

Have you seen a house under construction? It's messy and unfit for living. Then after completion, with new paint, stylish furniture, bright curtains etc. it's instantly transformed into a home sweet home. While under construction, only the architect can visualize what the finished product will look like. Others just see bare bricks and mortar.

And the same goes for our lives. Only God knows our end.

I was troubled lately by a series of events, and was very disappointed with others and myself. I've lost my peace and sometimes it almost seems like my Heavenly Father has turned His back on me. But it's not true. My doubts are not from Him.

In my devotional prayer just now, I was apologizing to Him for being so slow in my Christian growth, and He gave me this verse from Philippians 1:6, "And I am sure that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ".

Then I ponder, many of us are diligent and faithful in delivering our work, how much more will a faithful God complete what He has begun (in us). I'm encouraged once again.

Only a faithful and loving God can see the masterpieces in us while we are still under construction. Praise God!
