Work In Progress~

I saw the angel in the marble, and carved until I set him free.  ~ Michelangelo

We are all under construction.  We are all working on ourselves, and God is also working on us if we let Him.  Michelangelo was one of the greatest artists, and sculptors the world has ever seen, and yet even he does not compare to God and the art He is making of our lives.  We are steadily carving away at our personas, and making changes to the way we are viewed by others around us.  God is shaping us , and showing us the places that we need to carve away to make us the person He wants us to be.  I wouldn't say that  we have an angel inside, but we all do have a better person inside.  When the carving is going on, sometimes , it is not a pleasant feeling.  There's a lot of dust, and chips of self flying off, and it's a noisy sometimes painful process.  But the end result will be that we will be a beautiful example of God's artistry.  We just have to remember the little song we used to all sing,  "He's still workin' on me, to make me what I oughta be........" and remember too, if someone is not perfect, or hurts you in some way, they are just under construction, as we all are.
