A Work in Progress
Another way of verifying God’s presence in your life is to recognize that He is committed to finishing the work he started in you. The apostle Paul says in Philippians 1:6 that “He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.” (NASB) See yourself as a work in progress with the owner/investor onsite to assure that the job gets done. He bought you, now you belong to Him, and you are becoming his masterpiece. He wants you to bear fruit—to be mature and grow as a loving, caring person. As long as you remain ‘unfinished’, you can be certain that He is present in your life.

Developing Christian Character
Faith is foundational to Christian character because it provides me with everything I need and leads to radical change. Also, focus is essential to character growth. To develop our character we must make it a priority, measure our progress and remember what Jesus has done for me.

Growing in Grace
There must be something more. This feeling of emptiness has been the excuse for more than one person to despair and give up on God. This happens to anyone who is not experiencing spiritual growth over time. The "something more" is found in a child like seeking of the Lord daily. A child will watch their parents to see what they do. Then the child will try to do what they have seen in order to be like their parents.
