The perfect work that God is doing, is to make us mature in Christ in a whole way so that there are no gaps in our lives, that we are lacking nothing as God is doing his grace in us. I do not know about you, but I often pray that the Lord will make me whole, balanced in my sanctification. And it is through the trials that he has promised that he is going to accomplish that work.1
Joseph A. Pipa
4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
