“To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” (Colosssians1:27)
The more I know about myself, the more I am aware that I need God’s constant grace, mercy and patience—and also that of other people.
But I must never forget that God is bigger than my worst things. He will perfect me by His own methods. The pain I feel in my life brings correction to my character. I am willing to undergo this purification process so that I can be like Jesus. I do want to do justice to Him as His mirror-image in my world.
