[God] who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
Philippians 1:6 (NIV)
‘Thankfully, God is never tempted to cut me off because of my sin. Instead…God tames the unruly parts of me, gradually replacing them with peace, joy and love for others. As we surrender our will, God continues to work on us, styling us as beloved creations.’
