Don't wait until you are perfect to feel good about yourself.

Perfection isn't the entry fee for joy.

Today's scripture is coming from Philippians chapter #1 verse 6
0:13
and this is the MSG and it says. There has never been the
0:17
slightest doubt in my mind that the God who started this great
0:22
work in you would keep at it and bring it to a flourishing finish
0:27
on the very day Jesus Christ appears.
0:31
Let's go further. Too many people wake up every
0:34
day with a mentalist of what's wrong with them.
0:38
That's exactly how your opposition wants you to live.
0:43
Stuck on your flaws, blind to your progress.
0:47
But God's not finished with you yet.
0:51
You are a work in progress, moving from glory to glory.
0:55
Celebrate what's right about you and thank God for what He's
0:59
doing. The more you honor Him for the
1:02
progress, the more He accelerates the transformation.
1:08
Let me tell you a story. A sculptor never trashes the
1:12
marble halfway through the masterpiece.
1:15
He sees the vision even when others only see rough edges.
1:21
So you may not be finished, but you are further along than you
1:26
were, and that's something worth celebrating.
1:30
Here's today's reflection question.
1:32
What part of your journey do you need to pause and thank God for
1:37
right now and today's declaration.
1:41
Repeat this after me. Say I celebrate who I am today,
1:46
knowing God is making me even better tomorrow.
1:51
And today's prayer. God, we thank you for the good
1:55
work that you are doing in our life.
1:57
We are convinced you will complete it.
2:00
We refuse to live under condemnation, and we choose to
2:05
walk in gratitude and expectation knowing that because
2:09
you began this work that you're going to complete it and that
2:13
we're only going through the process of it.
2:15
And as we go through the process, we are never alone.
2:17
We're equipped with your presence, your power, and your
2:20
peace and your provision. And we thank you for all those
2:23
things that will continue to have an impact on us.
2:27
We ask that you continue to bless our life to the extent
2:29
that we can be a blessing to those that we come in contact
2:32
with and help them to see themselves as a work in
2:34
progress, but also a work that needs to be celebrated because
2:38
you began it. And if you began it, you're
2:40
going to finish it. Thank you for always making sure
2:42
we're great and whole and complete with nothing missing,
2:45
broken, or lacking. And we honor you for being God
2:49
of every aspect of our life. And we thank you for covering
2:51
ourselves, our kids, our loved ones, our partners, our spouses,
2:54
and everybody who is near and dear to our heart.
2:57
Continue to protect all of us, God, under your great grace, we
3:01
honor you for who you are and for all you're going to continue
3:03
to do in and through and for us. And it's in the matchless name
3:07
of Jesus to Christ a king, we do pray, Amen.
3:11
God bless y'all. I love you and I hope you have a
3:14
fantastic day today. Y'all, take care.
3:19
One final thought, God doesn't need you to be flawless to favor
3:25
you. He just needs you to be faithful
3:27
to the process.
