| Junk Sculpture |

As I'm trying to get over a cold/allergy thing this week, I went to bed very early last night. I woke up sometime around 3 in the morning with a thought that I believe the Lord gave me. Have you ever seen a 'junk sculpture'? Some artist takes pieces of trash and molds them, welds them, hinges them together in their 'imperfectness' and makes something functional and often beautiful? 
The message I was given last night followed this thinking: The Will of the Lord is perfect. The instruments of His Will don't have to be. God is the master artist. He is able to use us in our imperfect state to do what He wills with us, for us, by us. All we need to do is submit and trust in Him. 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, `which is' your spiritual service. 12:2 And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, and ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. |
