“Will I Be Worthy?”
Will I be worthy
in that day
when the clouds part
shining redemptive rays?
Will I be worthy
before the Son
rising with the saints
together as one?
Will I be worthy
to gain a crown,
with robes of righteousness
as my dressing gown?
Will I be worthy
to bask in that glory
when the books are opened
exposing my story?
Will I be worthy
to hear, “Well done;”
to enter for eternity
where’s there’s no need for sun?
Will I be worthy?
The answer is, “No,”
if on my own accord
I try to go.
My own works
can’t mark me as good,
but if on Christ’s sacrifice
I have stood;
my unworthy, sinful, scarlet state
counts me as worthy, by His grace.

This is our hiding place today. Even if things don’t go right today or all the puzzle pieces of life don’t connect right for us, our trust is in our unfailing God. He is faithful and just. When we walk, we don’t walk alone. When we’re confused, He is our steady rock. When we are hurting, He is our comfort, peace, and love.

An Incomplete, Complete Mess | Word For Life Says
Incomplete really speaks to the idea that I, we, us, don’t really have it all together like we think we do at times. We often feel so short from where we need to be; from where God wants us that we can sense a dragging of lack in our spirits. If we were really honest with ourselves we would see within us the deficit our humanity brings without any real way of adding up to that holy mark of perfection our soul so desperately longs for. If left to ourselves and our own ingenuity we would find that we are an incomplete mess.
But, thanks be to God that our completeness is not dependent upon us. Rather, it is in Christ alone where we find everything that makes us one hundred percent whole in Him. In our relationship with Jesus as our Savior, there is no lack. The Bible assures us, “And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:” (Colossians 2:10). On the cross, Jesus secured everything we need to have a full relationship with God Almighty, leaving nothing out. Jesus Christ really does become more than enough for believers to rest in His salvation. Through Calvary’s sacrifice, Jesus turned our incomplete mess into something completely beautiful.
We may feel like we’re not there yet, but we are being renewed day by day (2 Corinthians 4:17). Like a caterpillar in transition to becoming a butterfly, I can’t wait to see the beautiful end results of what we all will be in Christ Jesus.
