From Redemption to Refinement

Philippians 1:6

This week we’ve thought much on how to forgive ourselves.  This is the first step towards redemption (once we allow God control over our lives).  But it’s only a first step.  What if I told you that God wishes more for you than mere redemption?  Read the verse above for the great continuation of God’s plan for us.


Questions for further thought:
1. Do you know what God’s plan is for you, in its totality?

2. Do you embrace it as a living reality?


​Challenge: God so loves us, and He wants more for us than just redeeming us from sin, guilt, and shame (though that’s quite good in and of itself).  Pray that we allow Him to work in us daily so that we “finish the race” with Him leading us all of the way to becoming as He would wish us to become.  In His name, Amen.
