Before God put Adam in the garden, he formed him.
There is a purpose of preparation God takes us through in
order to make what we need to be. God must deal with our
inconsistencies, personality, area of distrust, unresolved
childhood issues, scars flaw etc.
How long does it take? Only God knows.
Admit it even at your age don’t you still recognize some
childish ways in your life? Anybody would have given up on
you, but God has plans and he is committed to it.
We should all wear a sign that says: “work in progress”.
Come what may in life, be mindful of: work in progress.
You must pass through processes before becoming finished goods.
The Bible says the lord “formed man out of the dust of the
ground” (Gen 2:7) what’s God working with? “Dirt” And the
tools he uses to form you are the experiences you go through
in life. They shape and alter you. And the more you try it your
own way, the longer the process takes. It may take you five
years to quit people-pleasing or ten years to stop feeling sorry
for yourself, or twenty years to stop reliving your childhood.
All the while God is telling you “stop it” and you are saying
“yeah I will be better” then finally a crisis happens and the
truth hits you. At that point you say “you know what? I’m going
to forget those things which are behind and start reaching for
things which are before.
