Handmade Part Four
Embracing the Process
Isaiah 64:8 (ESV)
[8] But now, O LORD, you are our Father;
we are the clay, and you are our potter;
we are all the work of your hand
You may think you’re waiting, but really you’re in process.
Ephesians 5:8–10 (ESV)
[8] For at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light [9] (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), [10] and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord.
2 Corinthians 3:18 (ESV)
[18] And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.
God forms us to be a unique messenger and message of His grace.
