Your Transformation

I see redemption as complete, for the atonement of My Son was sufficient. No further payment is required, for justice has been fully met. Therefore, no sin can disqualify you. You are still a work in process, for the results of My Son’s finished work are being outworked in your life. But I know it is complete because I see the end just as clearly as I see the now.

I know you struggle with temptation, and I see the times you say yes when you should have said no. I see, but I am not appalled. I know you have little strength within yourself. I know the very desires I gave to you have been perverted by the enemy of your soul. He is My enemy first and foremost. He pursued, attacked, and marred My beautiful creation out of the evil intent of his own heart. But his plan will not succeed. The seeds of his destruction were planted by the willing sacrifice of My Son. He paid for your freedom and not just your sin. He paid for your deliverance so you could walk free of guilt and condemnation.

You are Our workmanship. We already delight in what We have created even though it is still incomplete. We are willing to take time to outwork Our purpose in your life. We journey with you as you learn to walk in victory in the areas where you have known defeat. We rejoice in the transformation We already see and enjoy planning the next phase of your full restoration. If you saw what We currently see, you would be amazed and full of joy.

We will finish what We have begun. You can wait until the day it is complete to rejoice in the handiwork of your God, or you can rejoice now. You can look at your failures yet rejoice in My love. You can see your weakness and glory in My strength. You can walk the remainder of your journey with joy, trusting in My goodness and faithfulness, or you can walk looking at your own imperfections and failures. You get to choose what you focus on, but that choice will determine the quality of your journey. We want you to enjoy the process, celebrate the victories, and delight in every deliverance that is accomplished in your life. That thrills Our heart, for it reveals the faith that sees beyond the now, beyond the weakness and failures, and trusts that We will complete what We have begun.
