Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work. 2 Timothy 2:21
The Lord will always be working on us as we grow in Him. Our relationship with God is ever changing as it matures. This is called sanctification. Sanctification is the act or process of acquiring sanctity, of being made or becoming holy. The Lord sets us apart from this world. When we dedicate our lives to Jesus and we choose to live for Him and His ways, He will begin to "chisel" away at you. He is the potter and we are the clay and He will mold us and make us in His image and this is what we should pray and hope for. If we suffer from guilt, depression, gossip, anger, lust, doubt, negativity, you name it....He will begin to deal with each area in you. It is as if we are placed in the fire and He is allowing our old self to die in the fire and become nothing more than ashes in order for Him to create a new person in His image with value and purpose. Does it make sense to you? Do you see it? Are you experiencing it in your own walk? It is not always pleasant and it can be painful but allow Him to complete His work in you for it is far worth any life you are living in now. So trust in Him, surrender your life to him completely and sincerely and allow His will for you, in every area of your life and I promise you, you will be forever changed and anew.
