    This morning I read a few devotions circling around the issues of allowing God to change us before He can use us to change the world.

    "But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work."
    ~ 2 Timothy 2:20-21 (Read 20-26)


    In every step of our life journey, God's constantly and faithfully shaping us and moulding us to become like Jesus, vessels of glory for Him to work through us. Often, He also uses the most unlikely people at the most unlikely places to teach us some of life's most difficult lessons. Trials and obstacles may not be from God, but He allows them to happen so that He can build us up through them, through the testing of faith and character, and we'll come out of the storm stronger and more like Jesus.He never gives us more than we can handle, and we have His promise that He'll be with us every step of the way, holding our hands in the valley of shadow and death, and hoisting us on His mighty wings to fly above the storms.

    In fact, one devotion even says that if we don't feel that we have much to repent of, it may actually be the first signs of self-righteousness and pride. God's 'refinishing' of our souls is an ongoing process, and spending time with God in His word keeps us in the light of the "repentance zone" where God works to deepen the shine of our lives. Repentance is an ongoing process of shedding things that dull our hearts, like harbouring negative emotions and grudges, selfish habits and things that get in the way of being a shining ambassador of Christ (: As long as we keep our eyes on the author and finisher of our faith, Jesus, we'll know that one day this work will be finished.

    "He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ" ~ Philippians 1:6


    Let's continue to encourage other and support each other in this 'refinishing' process. Our heavenly Father not only refinishes us, He finishes the work!
