A sculptor was asked how he could carve a lion's
head out of a large block of marble. "I just chip away everything that
doesn't look like a lion's head," was his reply. God works away in our
being and chips away everything that doesn't look like Christ -- the
impatience, the short temper, the pride, the emotional drives that lead us away
from our Father. He's shaping us into His image. That's His predetermined plan.
And He's committed to it. Nothing we can do will dissuade Him from that plan.
He stays at it. He is relentless. And He never runs out of creative ideas.
