– God never intended for us to work out our salvation on our own.
– We don’t need a self-help book if we have the help of God.
– Figuring things out makes us frustrated because we are not working with God.
– When we know that God is working on us, we stop figuring on what to do.
– When we know that God is working on us, we realize that life is a process.
– We are a work of progress.
– God is always working.
– When we know that God is working on us, our life isn’t defined by temporary setbacks.
God is giving us the desire to work things out.
– We stop trying to work on our own strength.
– We can be patient with ourselves. God causes everything to work together for the good.
– Before we were born, God appointed us to do certain things. The things that God set us apart to do are the things we want to do.
– We must not diminish what God has done on the inside of us and limit what we can do.
