Reflections

God is working on us. To bring us to purity and maturity. That we may be more Christlike. Like a master craftsman, He is lovingly, skilfully, patiently, deftly shaping us. Firmly, surely, sometimes seemingly rough yet always carefully chipping away at us, carving, honing, sanding to bring His glory. 2 Cor 4:17 (NIV) For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.   

When God is finished it will be a great work of art. But we must cooperate with Him. Ultimately, God’s glory will be in worked in us if we realise that there has to be less of ourselves. Our selfish, self-centred, sinful self. But more of God in our lives. John 3:30 (KJV) He must increase, but I must decrease.
