Do you ever feel that your life looks like this? Messy, tangled threads going every which way? Can you even make sense of it or even sort it out?
Ah, but God sees what we don’t: a complete and finished product. And He is not the least bit surprised or deterred by our “mess.” God sees things in you that no one else sees, maybe because He put them there.
He sees and calls out the good in us that we can’t even see ourselves.

God … sees who we are intended to be, who we will one day become.
John Ortberg, Jr.
For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord.
“They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
Jeremiah 29:11 NLT
Don’t let the mess discourage you. You are a work in progress. God is creating a masterpiece. He cannot fail and He never makes mistakes.
For since the world began,
no ear has heard and no eye has seen a God like you,
who works for those who wait for him!
Isaiah 64:4 NLT
So, please be patient: God isn’t finished with you yet.
And I am convinced and sure of this very thing,
that He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ
[right up to the time of His return],
developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you.
Philippians 1:6 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
