“What God begins in grace, He completes in glory.”
Philippians 1:6 – “Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

Philippians 1:6 is one of the most reassuring promises for anyone feeling “unfinished.” There are days when progress feels slow.
You pray, you try, you believe — yet you wonder if you’re really growing. But this verse reminds us: God never starts something He doesn’t plan to finish.
Think of an artist painting a masterpiece. If you walk in halfway through, you might only see rough strokes, scattered colors, and confusion on the canvas. But the artist knows what the final picture will be. In the same way, your life is God’s ongoing artwork — still in progress, still becoming.
Every delay, every detour, and every doubt is part of His divine design. You may not be who you want to be yet, but you’re also not who you used to be. His hands are still shaping your heart.
So hold your peace — the One who began the good work in you will finish it for you.

Prayer: Lord, thank You that my life is in Your hands. When I grow weary or impatient, remind me that You are still working. Finish what You started in me, and let Your masterpiece reflect Your glory. Amen.
