Trusting God with the Unfinished

When we began this journey with Jacob’s recovery, I read this verse:
“being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 1:6

I was certain God would restore Jacob and I, as his mother, would never stop praying for the “finished work.” The comments and looks that I got from people fueled this on an even greater level. There was never a doubt in my mind that Jacob would not be restored. There still isn’t. We see the process continuing everyday. I was so willing to completely give it to God and trust him with the “unfinished.” This was my hope.

Something so different happened to me. I can tell you all day long what I believe about healing and other things, but it was like someone firmly took me by the shoulders, shook the doubt and worries out of me, and gave me such a different feeling. As long as I live, I will never forget what I was taught on the 7th floor at Children’s hospital. I was taught to trust God with the unfinished work and very long road that I saw before me.

In the middle of the “unfinished” in your life, always remember to faithfully trust God because he is the cornerstone. God always finishes what he starts.
