Philippians 1:6
" 6 And I am sure that God, who began the good work within you, will continue His work until it is finally finished on that day when Christ Jesus comes back again."
This one is hard for me, cause I really can't picture myself ever being able to be perfect. I struggle with my attitude, I'm selfish, I can be super lazy & unmotivated, I hate, I don't always do what God tells me to, etc. And that's not including the physical imperfections I've got going on; my spine is twisted, my hips give out constantly, my hips & pelvis & sacrum get misaligned super easily, I can't run or hop without my ankles snapping, my gut is all screwed up, etc. Nothing about those things shout perfection to me, and I honestly can't imagine there being a time when there's not some sort of pain or issue going on. The beautiful thing though, is that it's not dependent on my imagination. When Christ returns and calls us home, we will be made perfect.
Philippians 3:21
" 21 He will take these weak mortal bodies of ours and change them into glorious bodies like His own, using the same mighty power that He will use to conquer everything, everywhere."
That's just a picture of the physical transformation that He'll do with us, imagine the rest! No more selfishness, no more anger, no more hate, no more jealousy, no more fear, no more temptation to give into, no more lust, no more greed, no more hurt, no more death. I'm excited to see what that will be like, though by the time it happens, I probably won't be thinking about it too much =]
