Gordon Jensen sang the song, “When the Carpenter Came” about the renewal of our lives as Christians. The song says that He had to tear down some walls to reveal the rotten wood. The recipient of the Carpenter’s demolition wasn’t appreciative at first but later realized how necessary the project was.
The recognition of the new birth takes time and the results of the God-ordained reconstruction process is always seen in stages.
Peter describes it this way:
1 Peter 1:23
having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever,
What God began in you He is going to complete.
Philippians 1:6
being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ
Let the Creator do His work and don’t give Him a hard time.
Think about it.
