2 Corinthians 3:18 ” And we all , with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another .For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.”
As the new year is approaching, we thank our God Almighty who was with us throughout the year and helped us to grow and improve in the word of God, in our prayer life. Praise be to our heavenly Father His only begotten Son and the Holy Spirit who has given us one more year to win and change, and improve, in prayer, in the word, in service and to grow. May this coming year we all grow in our spiritual life. When we pray and walk in the grace of the Holy Spirit we come close in Jesus ‘s presence. When we experience His power, love and righteousness ,we change in His likeness. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of His nature, and He upholds the universe by the word of His power. After making purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.” (Hebrew 1:3 )
So Christ Himself gave the apostles ,the prophets, the evangelist , the pastors and teachers to equip His people for works of service so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in faith and in the knowledge of the son of God and become mature attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ(Ephesians 4:11-13).
God’s supreme plan is that we be like His son Jesus. We are already cut from the rock. The process of giving shape to each one of us has already begun. It’s a slow and many times a painful process for some. Our God is a craftsman. He makes no mistake. Our work is to be always under His divine guidance. We need to completely surrender ourselves in His mighty hands. (1Peter5:6). Never get disheartened in making efforts. May be the beginning is slow, the path rocky but the end will be glorious.
“I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” Philippians 1:6 “
An eye that never sleeps and ear that never stops listening the arms which never get tired, such is His love for us, there is love that never ends.
