                *GOD WILL FINISH WHAT HE STARTED*
                        by Carrie Anderson

***********************************************************************
Scripture-Philippians 1:6 "And I am convinced and sure of this very
thing, that He who began a good work in you will continue until the day
of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], developing [that
work], and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you."

God has a plan for you. It's a plan that gives you a hope and a future.
If you have suffered pain and hurts and God has already began the 
healing process in your life, don't get discourage if there is a 
challenge brought your way by the enemy.  God has begun a good work
in you and He will complete it.

Eph. 2:10 says, "we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto 
good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Your life is not a suprise to God.  He saw you in eternity, and knows 
the great work He has for you.  It is a great work, because it was 
designed for you.  Don't give up on the restoration God is doing in 
your life. By faith God is working. God responds to our faith and trust 
in Him. The work He has begun is a seed He has planted.  It may take 
time, it may feel like no activity is taking place, but trust that He 
will bring to pass the work He began.

If there is something in your life that you need the Lord to begin to 
work on, e-mail us at cbander@hlom.org so we can pray for you and help
you on the joyful journey of experiencing God's healing love.  No matter
the abuse or pain of the past, God is your source of healing.
