Beloved, it’s not as much about whom we are as it is what Jesus can make us.  Those Jesus calls, He will make into what He desires them to be and the finished person will not look like the one that answered the call.   All that those called must do is keep their eyes fixed on Jesus and follow Him.  Along the way, He will perfect the faith that He initiated in them when He first called them.  God’s Word says in Hebrews 12:1-2 (ESV) “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.”

Know that you are loved,
