Episode 195 - Not Already Perfect

There are few things more discouraging than feeling like we should be farther along than we are.Perhaps we thought we would have conquered a particular temptation by now.Perhaps we imagined our faith would be stronger, our patience deeper, or our prayers more consistent.It’s easy to become frustrated by our own shortcomings.But the Christian life has never been about reaching perfection through our own efforts.It is about faithfully following the One who is patiently transforming us.Even the Apostle Paul, after years of ministry, suffering, and faithful service, did not claim that he had arrived.Instead, he continued pressing forward with humility and hope.
