Perhaps you have been waiting far too long and you are on the verge of giving up. Why is it taking so long? You feel there's none to lean on and truly share your burden. Don't give up. Hope and wait for the promise of God- that He will be faithful. That He will deliver and provide. Wait in faith on God, don’t get ahead of Him. In Psalm 46, the Lord says, “be still, and know that I am God” i.e., know who I am - that He is good, He is faithful, He is trustworthy and righteous, that He is generous, abounding in love.  He is great and awesome (Nehemiah 1:5), He is able to work mightily in the midst of your waiting. Therefore wait well by anchoring your hope in the One whose promises are sure.  His Word is sure, and His ways are perfect, He will never disappoint you.

Ephesians 2:10 ‘For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.’ YOU ARE GOD’S MASTERPIECE! You are made by God and you are formed and created by Him. You are individually made and created by God. You are HIS creation. As a Christian, you are His new creation! 2 Corinthians 5:17 ‘Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!’ You are a demonstration of God’s art and skill. God’s workmanship is ‘out of this world’! Every object is a reflection of the work of its creator! God’s workmanship is always good. Just look at the beauty of nature to see this! You are God’s Masterpiece. You were designed in His heart before you were knit together by His skillful hand. This is something that makes you special! And why were you made? To do a special task that you alone can do!

It is crystal clear that “immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints; and there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting” for Christians (Ephesians 5:3-4). It’s not about being “perfect,” rather it’s about being holy (1 Peter 1:16). Christians are not called to live like the world; we must be set apart and have a renewed mind, and we’ll know we’ve truly been set apart if we do “which is good and acceptable and perfect” to prove we know the will of God (Romans 12:2). How can a Christian do what is contrary to Scripture? Will you commit sins as a Christian? Yes, you will sin as a Christian (1 John 1:8), however, you will not sin willingly (Hebrews 10:26). The sins without a heart set out for them are still sins (Leviticus 5:17). Whichever the case, you must respond the same way: rather than hide, confess your sins (Psalm 32:5). Ignorance is not bliss (Leviticus 5:18-19). If you are a parent, this is particularly important to you. As J.C. Ryle wrote, “Father and mothers, do not forget that children learn more by the eye than they do by the ear. The best of schoolmasters will not imprint on their minds as much as they will pick up at your fireside. Imitation is a far stronger principle with children than memory. What they see has a much stronger effect on their minds than what they are told.” Don’t settle for mediocrity—aim higher (Colossians 3:2).
