IT'S OKAY TO BE STRUGGLING

Because none of us are perfect, even though our perfect God is moving us toward perfection in Christ.
..but we're not quite there yet... And because we're not there, it's okay for a Christian to be "struggling," it's okay for a Christian to not be "okay," it's okay for a Christian to not have it "all together."

In light of our imperfection, it's possible for a Christian to be:

FAITHFUL & DOUBTFUL
👉 Like the Apostle Thomas in John 20:24-29

JOYFUL & SUFFERING
👉 Like the Apostle Paul in Philippians 1:12-30

LOVING & BOLD
👉 Like Paul with Peter in Galatians 2:11-14

STRONG & WEAK
👉 Like Paul preaching the Gospel in 2 Corinthians 12:10

MATURE & IN PROCESS
👉 Like the Philippian Christians in Philippians 3:12-17

RIGHTEOUS & REPENTANT
👉 Like Job in Job 1:1 and Job 42:1-6

WHOLE & BROKEN
👉 Like the Psalmist in Psalm 147:3

HUMBLE & CONFIDENT
👉 Like Paul about his apostleship in 1 Corinthians 15:9-10

TOLERANT & TRUTHFUL
👉 Like the Apostle Paul engaging with the philosophers in Acts 17:22-34

We're all "in-process" and being sanctified by Christ. We often straddle the line between what we are (our sin) and what God wants us to be (Christ-like). But don't worry, He will bring us there.

He promises it (Philippians 1:6).
