Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect… (Philippians 3:12).

You’re a work in progress.

Cliche?  Yes.

True?  Also, yes.

Hear the truth, Beloved.  Stop your racing and striving and running and tumbling for just a moment and let it sink in.  If the Apostle Paul–a fairly intense individual–could admit that God wasn’t finished with him, so can you.

So…do.

Not a excuse…Beloved.  Not a loophole.  Just truth.

Here’s another truth.  One day he will be finished with you.  One day you will be made perfect.

Take that into your Monday.
