The perfect work of God in us.

God has a plan, He has a purpose for our lives, this has been planned since before the foundation of the world and this plan is much more impressive than we can imagine.

20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

Ephesians 3:20

Let us read this portion of the word of God over and over again and allow it to penetrate our minds and hearts. This is an impressive description of the capacity and power that God has to work in our lives. Yet most of the time we focus on what we want God to do, many times we think of a kind of barter as saying "If God does this or that in my life, my life would be much better than now." This is a common mistake, God does not limit himself to little things, he invites us to think in abundance, that is, he wants us to change and be transformed into a better person in his image and for this he provides us with all the tools we need.
Let us remember that God has sent his Holy Spirit to work in our lives in a radical way, to transform us from the inside out, from what we see to what we see, but this is not usually immediate, it is a slow, gradual process. All this is comparable to a tree that bears fruit, all this does not happen overnight, it takes a process of development, growth and maturation, that is why we must also be patient and live focused on what God promises us with faith that he is working even when we only see the trunk and some leaves, our vision should not be limited only to that, God asks us to see our lives as a tree that bears fruit, as a tree that is planted next to streams of fresh water.

29 For those whom He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brothers.

Romans 8:29

God has multiple purposes in our lives and at all times He works and urges us to walk in that direction. God also has the objective of transforming us into the image of His Son and for this we must surely go through some very difficult moments but everything is for our transformation and for our good, even when it does not make sense to us but it does make sense in the mind of God and we only have to trust patiently and live the process.
There are things that we want God to do for us, but do you know what God wants to do in your life? To do this we must read and investigate the word of God, so we find God's desire for us and learn to trust in His work in us.
