'...IT DOTH NOT YET APPEAR WHAT WE SHALL BE...' 1 JOHN 3:2

You say, 'My life is so messed up at the moment.' John replies: '...now
are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be...'
Have you ever been to a building site? It looks like anything but a
building, doesn't it? That's because 'it does not yet appear what it
shall be.' But bit-by-bit under the architect's supervision, bricks,
beams and piles of sand start taking shape. You may be a mess right now.
Indeed if the church is doing its job there should be lots of messy
people in it: people being pulled out of rough situations, people in the
process of being restored. No baby comes out of the womb clean and
dressed up; birth is painful and messy. But the good news is you have
been spiritually reborn. You are under construction. There is a plan and
purpose behind what's going on in your life. Things will come together.
You see, when Christ comes into your life your spirit is immediately
changed, but your emotions, appetites and attitudes still need work:
lots of it. In each of us there are areas that need to be corrected and
redirected. And until they are we struggle to handle them in
dysfunctional and carnal ways. Those who say, 'If you were really a
Christian you wouldn't act like that,' tend to forget that falling down
is just part of learning to walk. You can know what to do yet struggle
to do it. Relax! God is at work in your life. He won't give up on you!
