Work in Progress
Have you ever struggled with something? Lately, I’ve been struggling with the need for control. I want everything to be just so: my house spotless, my health in a better place, and relationships with others to be free of conflict. But the reality is that life is messy. Dishes pile up, cat hair dances across my floors, my energy levels constantly fluctuate, my back flares up because I vacuumed, and relationships require intentionality and commitment to work through the conflicts in order for them to become deeper and stronger.
But despite the seemingly constant struggles for control, within my brokenness, God’s love for me is constant. No matter how many times I think I fail or become overwhelmed with the stressors of life, He meets me in my brokenness and draws me closer to Him through the struggle.
“It is because of the LORD’S lovingkindnesses that we are not consumed, because His [tender] compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great and beyond measure is Your faithfulness.”[1]
I have to remind myself that I am still a work-in-progress. Every day is a new day. I am beyond grateful for God’s unfailing love toward me, and how in this journey we call life, He is making me more in His image through His great love.
