Live beyond limitations

I am a grown-up, a fact that I can’t change.
But sometimes, I feel like there’s so much that I still have to change, to grow and be mature in my thinking.
There are certain some things that is not right in my life that is needed to be changed/removed.

A lot of times I wondered, why God is willing to let me take responsible of the things I am doing now, even before I am ready, before I am matured. Because sometimes it feels like things gets out of control.

Well that’s only what I think. God certainly thinks otherwise.
Though I may be one with much flaws, God’s promises never changes.
His love still remains.

God’s words spoke so cleary when I read this:

Philippians 3:12
Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.

Philippians 3:14-15
14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this in mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you.

Philippians 3:21
who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able to even to subdue all things to Himself.

It’s not because of the nature inclination that we have.
It’s not because that we are already perfected.
But it’s because God has placed His calling on us.

It’s not because of the nature inclination that I have.
It’s not because that I am already perfected.
But it’s because God has placed His calling on me.

Nowadays, I feel limited by many factors.
But I decided that I shouldn’t let circumstances limit me.
I must find my way out.
Got to learn to fly above the storms.
Tenacity.

God is good.
Always good.
Nothing beats having Him in my life.
He knows me inside out.
He made me the way I am, and He is in the process of molding, and refining the rough edges.
In my weakness, He strengthened me, and His glory shall be shown.

The joy of the Lord is my strength.
The joy of the Lord is your strength.

Empty-handed, but alive in Your hands.
I may be limited, but God is a God that is unlimited.
So have faith in God.
