'WE...ARE BEING TRANSFORMED...FROM GLORY TO GLORY... BY THE SPIRIT.' 2
CORINTHIANS 3:18

Are you able to evaluate your progress without getting discouraged or feeling
condemned? Can you look at how far you still have to go, yet be able to
appreciate how far you have already come? Where you are now, is not where you
are going to be. You must have a clear view of the finish line or you will
never get out of the starting gate. In the Amplified Bible Paul states that God
changes us from one degree of glory to another. Notice, the improvement takes
place by degrees, not giant leaps! 'But why do I keep falling?' you ask. Why
did you keep falling after your first birth? Because you were not born wearing
walking shoes! No, you had to learn, and at first you stumbled more than you
walked. The truth is, some of us just grow up faster than others.

We are too hard on ourselves; we would grow faster if we relaxed more. We
cannot live by our feelings in these matters. Satan will make sure we
frequently feel like 'an unredeemable mess,' or that God is not working in our
lives. That is a lie! We must learn to live by God's Word, not by how we feel;
for His Word states that as long as we believe, He is working in us. Listen:
'The Word of God...is effectually at work in you who believe, [exercising it's
superhuman power in those who adhere to and trust in and rely on it]'
(1Thessalonians 2:13 AMP). So rise up and announce, 'God is at work in me
today, changing me by degrees.'
