Have you heard? Jesus is coming back again. No, really. It may seem highly unlikely from where you’re sitting. But one day, in some heart-pounding way where no one in the world will have to wonder what’s happening, he’s going to step back in here and finish some business. One of those little unfinished matters . . . is you. Don’t sweat it, though. If you’re one of his, he won’t be coming back to pull the curtain down on your performance, but to raise the blinds and allow you to see what he’s been doing in your life. And one day—one great, big, glorious day—he’ll let you know what was going on. God finishes what he starts. Give him permission to get started with you.
God began doing a good work in you, and I am sure he will continue it until it is finished when Jesus Christ comes again. Philippians 1:6 NCV
