Pastor's Corner

for Sunday Nov. 6th
“I saw the angel in the marble and chiseled until I set him free.” Michelangelo gave this answer to someone when they asked him how he was able to carve such beautiful statues out of marble. The angel wasn’t really inside the marble; Michelangelo had a vision of what he wanted and then transferred that vision to the rock and created a beautiful work of art! So too is this true of you in the hands of God; he has a vision of what He wants to make you and is chiseling to accomplish the reality of that vision. However, bringing out the man or woman God wants you to be is not going to come without pain, God’s chisel often hurts as it removes the parts that must go. Too often we hold tenaciously to those parts that God sees are holding us back from becoming the person He wants us to be. God’s ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts and so most times we don’t see what God sees and that’s when we have trust the hand of the sculptor; trust his hand to set the angel free and become the man or woman He wants you to be!
