Who began will Finish

 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

Once you accept Jesus in your heart, you are His.  He will never abandon you.  He will never leave you.  He is a gentleman, so if you choose not to follow His ways, be in His blessings, He will allow you to do that.  But you are always His.  When you seek Him, He will gently work to make you Holy.  If you feel you are treated roughly, that is our enemy who does not want you to change from worldly ways.  He makes you doubt.  He makes you think God doesn’t care for you, that no one cares for you.  But take heart.  God is gentle, loving, kind, faithful, merciful and graceful.  He will give you all that you need.  He loves you.

The series this week I wrote to someone who has a lot of junk in her head and recently returned to God after a long time going her own way.  I love this person dearly.  I hope I do justice by her with God's truth.
