From Bad Apple to Good Apple

"The purpose of Christ's redeeming work
was to make it possible for bad men to
become good - deeply, radically and finally."
-A.Tozer












Another nugget for my soul.
I can become good.
Not on my own,
but through Him, I can.

And yet, I am not experiencing
enough of the good.
I am in a quandry.

What is the problem here?
I say one thing, and am another.

I see my life... I see the works
of my hands... I see my home...
and I wonder... what am I missing?

There's goodness here, yes.
If it weren't for Christ,
I wouldn't be alive today.
But that's not enough.

Am I being hard on myself?
Yes. I am.
I want more Goodness in my life.
I want more God-ness in my life.
Way more.
I am promised Life Abundant.

It is also written that I
can count on going
from glory to glory.

So what is the hindrance?






















I'm finding it out.
It's taking a long time...
I'm stubborn,
I'm proud,
I'm interested in me,
Not God's will for me...

and so...
I have...
holy discontent.

Well I should.

"Being confident of this very thing,
He who has begun a good work
in me will perform it until the day
of Jesus Christ. " Phil. 1:6
