God Is Our Shaper

God Is Our Shaper

by Dr. Ed Young

DESCRIPTION
God is shaping you “down here” so you will fit “up there.”
"But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men.” Luke 6:35

An architect dreams of designing skyscrapers, but is assigned to draw mud huts. A composer yearns to write symphonies, but is hired only to pen beer commercial music. Heaven is a world of limitless self-fulfillment. All we do, every gift and talent will be elevated to a capacity beyond our comprehension. Billy Graham had a friend passing through difficulty. One day he passed a church construction site. “What are you doing?” he asked a stone cutter. “See that little opening up near the steeple? I’m shaping this down here so it will fit up there.” God is shaping you “down here” so you will fit “up there.”
