A Prayer for Progress over Perfection By: Jennifer Heeren "For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image." (2 Corinthians 3:17-18) My goal in life is to be transformed and to learn to walk in love as I continue to grasp just how much I am already loved by my precious Heavenly Father. Seeing this love will enable me to know which goals I should strive for—the goals God desires for me to have. The more I realize the immenseness of God's love for me, the more I will make progress on goals that I would like to complete. God doesn't love our completed tasks as much as he loves our enthusiasm to work for Him. He is pleased the entire time that we are taking steps of obedience, not just at the end. There are some things that will never be completed this side of heaven—like world peace, for instance—but God is pleased when we take steps to live in unity with one other person. Progress toward our goals, and even more importantly, progress toward our becoming more like Christ, is an ongoing thing. There will always be more to do and more ways to grow in character and love. God is pleased when we take steps, when we step out of our comfort zones, and when we try. Hebrews 11 says a lot about God's happiness with our progress—otherwise known as faith: Faith shows the reality of what we hope for and is the evidence of things not seen yet. Through faith, people earn a good reputation. We can never fully know God and His ways but we can take steps to seek Him and seek to walk in the ways that we can decipher.   CONTINUE READING →
