By very slow degrees...

What does Frankenstein have to do with recovery?

Well, how about this little gem?

"By very slow degrees, and with frequent relapses…I recovered."
Mary Shelley (from Frankenstein)


Can you relate? Where do you see yourself in this quote? Is the pace of progress by slow degrees? Are you relapsing? Are you recovering?

Recovery, more often than not, is a process, not a cure. And where you are today will not be where you are tomorrow. Change is happening. And with God, we never need to fear that change.

“But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.”
2 Corinthians 3:18



You are not a monster; you’re not hopeless. In this autumn season, when Frankenstein’s monster is all the more visible, remember, in the broad spectrum of things, there’s a great creator at work. With Frankenstein, it was Shelley. With each of us, it is God.

He is NOT done with you yet. It may be by slow degrees, but nevertheless, change for the better is happening! God is too good of a God to allow you to stay stuck!
