This is a process!
Like a wonderful friendship, every day with Jesus brings new discoveries about ourselves and about Him…Do it for L I F E !
I’ve gotten very frustrated with “the process” of transformation, believe me…But like you say, Christ is a friend, among other things, and HE’S certainly in it for the longhaul! May this be a year of beautiful growth and submitting to God’s wise process- for all of us~ :0)
