If He does not support us, not one of us is safe from some gross sin. On the other hand, no possible degree of holiness or heroism which has ever been recorded of the greatest saints is beyond what He is determined to produce in every one of us in the end. The job will not be completed in this life: but He means to get us as far as possible before death.

Without God, we are lost. With God we are perfected.
Yes, it will take all of this life and some of the next to fully manifest our status as children of God. However, the outcome is certain if we stay the path. If we do stay on course we will be able to say each day. “I am better today than yesterday, but not as good as I will be tomorrow.”
Seeking holiness each day,
Z gardener
Author’s note: Today we are blessed by the presence of a new gardener. He runs a major company and conducts his life in accordance with God’s will. Welcome to the garden brother.
Blessings,
Z
