“I pray with great faith for you, because I’m fully convinced that the One who began this gracious work in you will faithfully continue the process of maturing you until the unveiling of our Lord Jesus Christ!” (Philippians 1:6 TPT)
At the end of makeover shows, there is always a ‘big reveal’ where the audience gets to see all the changes. If it is a home remodel, we get to see the newly decorated rooms. If it is a personal makeover, the client models her new clothes and makeup. Up until this moment, we are only shown little glimpses of the process. We can see the experts working on the project, but we don’t see the whole picture until the final moments.
Similarly, when we pray for a person’s transformation, we may not notice any significant improvement for a while. However, we can be assured that God is at work. Restoration and healing may happen out of sight, and the timing might not fit our expectations. Yet, we know that the One who began the gracious work will faithfully continue the process of maturing until the ‘big reveal’ at the end.
