The Father has desires and a vision for His children. Math may see us as a number. Consumerism sees us as a customer. The boss sees us as an employee. The lustful sees others as a means of gratification. God sees us as children made in His likeness. God sees how His love can change us. Love is coaxing out of us our best. Grace is overlooking our worst. The Spirit is transforming us to look more and more like what God looks like. Jesus has pioneered that path. Follow Him and you will come out at the right place.
Father, thank You for Your shaping power. May we be pliable clay in Your hands. We worship You, oh our Maker!
From “Growing Toward Maturity”, by H. Lamar Smith
