Cheer up because the Lord is at work in your life – you’re a glorious work in progress.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. You know, many people look at my paintings and comment on how much I’ve accomplished. But the truth is, I have many half-finished drawings that didn’t make it. Half-done paintings. Almost-completed sketches. Some artwork got dumped in the trash; others, piled in a corner. Either a different project was due, or I was up against some other deadline, or I simply didn’t like the way the painting was turning out. But I am so relieved that my creator doesn’t deal with you and me like that. Psalm 57 says that: God fulfills his purpose for me. I love that! He always finishes what he begins. God completes everything he starts. Sure, you may have a long way to go, but aren’t you grateful that he isn’t done with you yet? The Lord is at work in your life, so cheer up, because you are a glorious work in progress. So, yield today to the master artist.
