The Artisan

Image result for Artisan
"A rough and unshapen log has no idea that it can be made into a statue that will be considered a masterpiece, but the carver sees what can be done with it. So many ... do not understand that God can mold them into saints, until they put themselves into the hands of that almighty Artisan." - St. Ignatius Loyola

There is so much depth to this little paragraph from St Ignatius. It speaks to us of surrendering into the hands of the Almighty, who is the complete artisan. God knows how to be the painter, sculptor, potter, carpenter, builder - in essence, Creator.

As we consciously choose to put ourselves into God's hands today, will we allow him to shape and mold us?

Colossians 3:10 - "... and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator."
