Re: Redeemed
I will be the first to admit I am a piece of work. Why Jesus even bothers with me I don't understand. Most often I barely believe in myself and so it's hard to grasp why anyone else would let alone God. I am thankful for the truth of God's Word because it runs counter to my thoughts and feelings about myself, and it gives me hope. I ran across this scripture "he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." The idea that God is not finished with me gives me a sense of purpose to forge ahead with today, and to believe for the best for tomorrow.
