Greetings Dear Reader,
Wood does not speak.
It may communicate it beauty amidst plays of light and hue. It may touch our spirit with is shape and the
quality of its patterns. Still wood does
not speak.
It does not cry out when the carpenter saws away what is unnecessary. There is no complaint from the wood as the
carpenter uses chisels and planes to shape his creation. The wood does not whine about the time it
takes. The piece being formed does not
tell the carpenter how he should shape it.
One of the ways to
follow Christ more closely is to realize that all that the Carpenter King does
is to shape us into the beauty that he is creating. He hones into what he has designed us to
become. He conceived us and is building
us. I need to always accept the honing
of who I am with humility. I need to
give the carpenter his way and not think that I can avoid it.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”
