Is God Finished with You Yet?

“Finish what you started in me, God. Your Love is eternal – don’t quit on me now.” (Psalm 138:8 by King David, The Message)

"Even now God is still continually perfecting,
fine-tuning, and touch up each one of us."

Is God finished with you yet? If you’re still breathing, the answer is no. If you’re still blinking, the answer is no. If you say yes, the answer is – you’re death. 100 meter run will end after 100 meter run. Night end when the sun rises. And my full cup of coffee will finish eventually, but God – He is not finished with you yet. The King James Version translate Psalm 138:8 like this, “The Lord will perfect that which concerns me.” Even now God is still continually perfecting, fine-tuning, and touch up each one of us.

I remember one encouraging story that I kept in my notebook:


One night the great violinist Paganini stood before a huge audience playing a difficult piece of music. A full orchestra surrounded him. Suddenly one of the strings on his violin broke and hung down from his instrument. Beads of perspiration formed on his brow, but he continued to play, improvising as he went.
To everybody’s surprise a second string broke. Then the third. Now there were three limp strings dangling from his violin as the master-performer completed the composition on the one remaining string. When he was through, the audience jumped to its feet and filled the hall with thunderous applause. When the clapping and shouting ceased, Paganini asked the audience to sit down.
Holding the violin high for everyone to see, he nodded to the conductor to begin the encore. Then turning back toward the crowd, with a twinkle in his eyes he smiled and shouted, “Paganini… and one string!”... then he played the final piece while the audience and the conductor shook their heads in amazement.


Hi there friend, when you thought that nothing good can come out from you and you lost your hope in Him, I urging you to heed His calling, “Come and See” (John 1:39) Yes, come and see what He have offers you. If you're confuse, talk to Him. If you're in challenging moments, talk to Him. If you’re afraid, talk to Him. What so great about Jesus is that He will always continue to fulfill all His promises and purposes in your live!


‘But one of my ‘strings’ is broken? Can He still use me?’ you ask. Yes! Even if every ‘strings’ in your ‘violin’ is broken, He still wants to use it in order to fulfill His plan for your life. He can do it, but until you surrender your life and future to Him, He won’t. Yes, there will gonna be trails and obstacles along the way. Pain and failure may chips in, but if you endure it with Him, you faith will increase. When faith is stretched, it grows.

Like Paganini with his one string violin, he still continued playing his masterpiece until the music is finished. If that is the determination of mere human being in completing his work at hand, what more can God of Heaven who create you from the beginning will complete His plan in you? Have you surrender your life and future in His hand? I hope you did, because you know what… He won’t quit on you and He is not finished with you yet!

THINK BIG, God is the one who initiates the salvation in you. START SMALL, Surrender and trust Him. GO DEEP, He will continue it and will one day bring it to completion. (You'll shake your head in amazement.)

“…He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 1:6NIV)
