God cares for us, loves us, and is still working on us to make us like He wants. Have you ever made a gingerbread man? I have. You know how you have the image in your head for how it will turn out? That's kind of like what God has in His head; He has an image for who we will be, and what we will achieve.
Just remember to be open to what God wants. Like the story of Joseph in Genesis 37-50, nothing ever seemed to go right for him. First, his brothers tried to kill him and sold him into slavery, then he was good for awhile. However, soon, he was sent to prison. Later he got out of prison and became very important in Egypt and with his status saved his people. We see how God used Joseph. Imagine what he could make us into.
