The Gospel is not about going from bad to good, it's about going from dead to alive!
God isn't waiting on our memo. He is waiting on us to focus enough on Him that we get His memo.
There's something that's not right or not perfect or not the way we had hoped or dreamed that it was going to be. But God promises that He will use everything and every moment to ultimately take us to a new Heaven and a new Earth. For now, we're stuck in the middle.
To us, waiting is wasting. To God waiting is working.
Life only works when Jesus is everything and we are fully submitted to Him.
There's no doubt we were unworthy, but we were never worthless. Big difference.
