another shocking thing happened to me this week was when i read joel osteen's daily reading from your best life now. oh yes, it's been ages since i posted something spiritual. but i just wanna share a bit here:
the scipture says, "be confident of this. he that began a good work in you will continue to perform it until it's perfectly complete" (see philippians 1:6). god is never going to quit working on us. he's not going to get halfway through and say, "i am tired of dealing with you." "you keep making that same mistake." "you've got so many faults, i've had it with you." no, god is going to keep working on us until he shapes us into the people he wants us to be.
pg. 67
i bought this book mid of last year. when i was reading it at first, i couldn't relate myself to any of the topics brought up. for me, it's too hypocrite. till recently i reopened the book, and this paragraph shocked me and opened my eyes. the verse is a popular verse, many have quoted it, but i only understand it yesterday. i guess i have to give myself a bit more respect and a lot of gratitude to god.
have a wonderful day.
