Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 (NIV)
I know I've struggled with bad habits, ones that don't exactly glorify the Lord, and sometimes I feel like I'm trapped in them. This scripture reminds us that the Lord is constantly at work inside of us, helping to free us from the shackles of our own limitations. If you fall short today, that doesn't mean tomorrow won't be better--not based on our strength but on His spirit.
We are all a work in process. We'll wind up with different starting and finishing points, but the more we walk with the Lord and acknowledge His presence in our lives, the more His Spirit will work to make us more closely in His likeness.
