The Process

In the Old Testament of the Bible, Jeremiah chapter 29: verse 11 states, "For I know the plans that I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for calamity, to give you a future and a hope."Don't focus on the process. Baking powder is just as necessary for the success of a cake as is the sugar. Alone it is unpalatable, but without it, the recipe would be incomplete. God works in our lives in much the same way. He has a goal in mind, an end in sight; as the baker can see the magnificent wedding cake, God sees us complete and whole in Him.

Some of our experiences are quite painful, even bitter. We go through times of difficulty, which seem purposeless. If we focused on them, we would surely be discouraged and lose hope.

Don't focus on the process, but rather trust that God will use all our experiences, both pleasant and painful, to mold us into what He desires.
