Sometimes, I worry that I am never going to be what I think I should be. I look at my failings, past and present, and realize that I can’t, and never could, do it on my own. I just don’t have the wisdom or ability.
It helps to remember that I’m not supposed to make or remake myself. That is God’s job. My job is to get out of His way and let Him.

For it is [not your strength, but it is] God who is effectively at work in you,
both to will and to work [that is, strengthening, energizing, and creating in you
the longing and the ability to fulfill your purpose] for His good pleasure.
Philippians 2:13 Amplified Bible

***
I am confident that the Creator, who has begun such a great work among you,
will not stop in mid-design but will keep perfecting you
until the day Jesus the Anointed, our Liberating King, returns to redeem the world.
