"UNTIL WE ALL REACH UNITY IN THE FAITH AND IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE SON OF GOD AND BECOME MATURE ,ATTAINING TO WHOLE MEASURE OF THE FULLNESS OF CHRIST." Ephesians 4:13 Niv
As you struggle with your hurts,habbits and hang-ups, It is important to remember, you are a work in progress,God does not expect you to be perfect. He knows that you will make mistakes.The bible says we won`t be perfectly like Jesus until we are able to see Jesus perfectly (1 john 3:2)
A simple truth to remember is that God is far more interested in building your character, than anything else,. We worry when God seems far and silent, on a specific issues, but what God cares most is that whatever you do, you do it in a christlike manner(1cor10:31,1corth16:14, colo 3:17,23)
In other words , God is interested in who you are. For instance He is more concerned about your character than your carrier, because you will take your character into eternity, but not carrier. The bible warns in Romans 12;2, Becoming like Jesus ,means, we must make choices that are countercultural.These kinds of healing choices will protect us from other forces trying to mold us into their images.
Jesus did not die on the cross just that we could simple live comfortable, well adjusted lives. His purpose is far deeper. He wants to make to make us like himself before He takes us to Heaven.
