In Phillippians 1:6, the apostle Paul says "be confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day Jesus comes back again".
If we turn the change process over to God and agree to cooperate the best we can, God will work change in us through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Last time I spoke about the power of God and getting plugged in. Now we see the power of the Holy Spirit is where our process to progress is. God knows we are not ever going to be "perfect" here on earth, however He does desire us to have progress in our walk.
God is pleased with whatever growth and progress you have made. Just as a parent is thrilled at his or her baby's first steps, your heavenly Father is thrilled at each and every step of your growth. No matter how small ... it's the direction of your heart that pleases Him.
Remember, "Progress, not Perfection"!

This is beautiful and so true Pastor Kim and I am learning as I spiritually mature in Christ, I dwell in God’s presence here and now, spiritually, awaiting my “physical” presence with Him in the life to come.
