One Step At A Time
By Joyce Meyer
He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ…developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you.
Philippians 1:6
When I speak on healing of emotional wounds, I like to hold up several different-colored shoestrings tied together in a knot. I tell the audience, “This is you when you first start the process of transformation with God. You’re all knotted up. Each knot represents a different problem in your life that has developed from the things you have gone through. Untangling those knots and straightening out those problems may take a bit of time and effort so don’t get discouraged if it doesn’t happen all at once.”
If you want to receive healing and come into an area of wholeness, you must realize that healing is a process. Allow the Lord to deal with you and your problems in His way and in His time. Your part is to cooperate with Him in whatever area He chooses to start dealing with you first.
In our modern, instantaneous society, we expect everything to be quick and easy. The Lord never gets in a hurry, and He never quits. Sometimes it may seem that you are not making any progress. That’s because the Lord is untying your knots one at a time. During the process, we are learning to trust God, and we are developing a close and intimate relationship with Him. God always finishes what He starts, and you will see freedom and victory in your life!
Don’t give up!
God bless,
Mark
