You are still a work in progress...you're not finished yet. (So be patient with yourself and with God.) "Beloved, now we are the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is."
(1 John 3:2) Don't give up!
"Being confident of this very thing, that he which has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ." (Philippians 1:6)
We have all sinned against God and therefore we will be punished one day for our sins. But God is not willing that any should perish (be punished) so He sent His Son Jesus into the world to die for our sins (pay the punishment of our sins for us) because it was so great that it would be impossible for us to pay it.
You are a sinner in need of a Savior- Jesus Christ is that Savior. Today, repent of your sins, accept what Jesus did for you through His death as the payment for your sins, ask Him to forgive you and come into your heart and life and be your Savior and Lord.
1 John 5:11-12- "And this is the testimony God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. The one who has the Son has this eternal life; the one who does not have the Son of God does not have this eternal life."

It is funny how life can change your priorities in a matter of seconds. One afternoon in early October, I was in the process of saddling up my son’s Quarter pony to “freshen” up on my riding so as not to embarrass myself on my upcoming Elk hunting trip. My wife was preparing to go...Read More>>>
Clean Wash
("Anybody Guilty?")
A young couple moves into a new neighborhood. The next morning while they are eating breakfast, the young woman sees her neighbor hanging the wash outside. "That laundry is not very clean," she said. "She doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap." Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Every time her neighbor would hang her wash to dry, the young woman would make the same comments. About one month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband: "Look, she has learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this?" The husband said, "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows." And so it is with life.
What we see
when watching
others depends
on the purity of
the window
through which
we look.
