God's Not Done With You

He will finish the good work that he has started in you.

Standing in your ruins, feels a lot like the end
So used to losing, you're afraid to try again
Right now all you see are ashes
Where there was a flame
The truth is that you're not forgotten
'Cause Grace knows your name

God's not done with you
Even with your broken heart and your wounds and your scars
God's not done with you
Even when you're lost and it's hard and you're falling apart
God's not done with you
It's not over, it's only begun
So don't hide, don't run
'Cause God's not done with
You-ou-ou-ou-ou
You-ou-ou-ou-ou

There's a light you don't notice
Until you're standing in the dark
And there's a strength that's growing
Inside your shattered heart
Woah-o-o-o-o-oah

He's got a plan, this is part of it
He's gonna finish what He started
He's got a plan, this is part of it
He's gonna finish what He started
He's not done
God's not done writing your story
No, He's not done
God's not done with you!

Our creator has gone to great lengths to prove his love for us but despite everything that he has done we still have difficulty remembering that he loves us and has a plan for our lives. A lot of our problem is that even though we are loved to such an incredible degree there is someone else that hates us just as much.

Satan hates you and wants to destroy you because you remind him of somebody. Can you imagine having photos of your worst enemy all over the walls of your house? It must drive Satan crazy to see so many humans all over the planet that have the image of God.

Philippians 1:6 And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue His work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.

1 Peter 1:3-6 All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by His great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation, 4 and we have a priceless inheritance--an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay. 5 And through your faith, God is protecting you by His power until you receive this salvation, which is ready to be revealed on the last day for all to see. 6 So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you have to endure many trials for a little while.
The last thing that Satan wants you to believe is that God loves you and has great plans for your future. Satan doesn't want you to enjoy anything that God has done for you, he doesn't want you to know God's love and experience joy as you push through the trials of this life. 

Despite the difficulty that we face in this world we need to remember that we are just passing through to a better place!
