2 Timothy 2:11 (NIV)
11 Here is a trustworthy saying:
If we died with him,
we will also live with him;
we will also live with him;
I have a friend who during the Depression lost his job, a
fortune, a wife, and a home. But he tenaciously held to his faith-the only
thing he had left. One day he stopped to watch some men doing stonework on a
huge church. One of them was chiseling a triangular piece of stone. “What are
you going to do with that?” asked my friend. The workman said, “See that little
opening away up there near the spire? Well, I’m shaping this down here, so it
will fit in up there.” Tears filled the eyes of my friend as he walked away,
for it seemed that God had spoken through the workman to explain his ordeal
through which he was passing, “I’m shaping you down here, so you’ll fit in up
there.”
Thought for today:
Am I open to the teachings and corrections of God?
