This is the
reason I am working. God’s great power is working in me.
- Colossians 1:29 (NLV)
I’m
a planner. I like things organized, timelines laid out, and checklists neatly
completed. I like knowing what comes next and feeling like everything is moving
according to plan.
But life rarely cooperates with my carefully arranged schedules.
Some things take longer than we expected. Some dreams get delayed. Some healing takes years. Some lessons have to be learned more than once. And sometimes we simply run out of energy halfway through something we were sure we would finish quickly.
I actually have a cross stitch project that I started back in the 1990s that is still unfinished. At this point, I honestly do not know if I will ever go back and finish it. Somewhere along the way, life happened. Priorities shifted. Time moved on.
And you know what? That’s okay.
Because maybe that unfinished project is a reminder that all of us are still unfinished too.
We are all works in progress. None of us have perfectly figured out faith, relationships, patience, forgiveness, or trust. We are still learning. Still growing. Still stumbling and getting back up again.
The beautiful thing is that God is not intimidated by our unfinished places.
In fact, when we admit that we are unfinished, we open our hearts to the work He still wants to do in us. Pride says, “I’ve got this.” Faith says, “Lord, keep working on me.”
God’s power is still working in us even when we feel incomplete.
Maybe especially then.
So if you feel like your life is a little unfinished right now — if plans changed, progress slowed down, or things don’t look as polished as you hoped — take heart. God is still writing your story, one stitch at a time.
