Not as we should be .... yet!


We are all a work in progress. To realize that we are not yet as we could be, is a humbling thought, and one that is good to dwell on in this season of Lent.

"God loves you unconditionally, as you are and not as you should be, because nobody is as they should be." ~ Brennan Manning.

The challenge is twofold:

1. To keep coming to the Lord in prayer and worship, asking the Holy Spirit to refine us and to make us more and more like Christ. This is a lifelong process.

2. To show as much patience and grace with others, as God shows us. Our neighbour's are also on their own journey of transformation and sometimes we find their slow progress a little irritating :) 

2 Corinthians 3:18 - And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
