Our tendency is to run, to hide, to beg God to remove the adversity, remove the pain. We naturally question why a loving God would allow such burdens, rather than understanding that He is teaching us, He is molding us.
Be pliable in the Creator's hands. Allow Him to shape you into the person He meant you to be. Don't attempt to harden your heart and set as concrete your spirit. Trust Him. He has your best interest in mind. He isn't punishing you or angry with you, just sculpting you into something beautiful.
The hammering may continue, for a season. Be pliable in the Master's hands. Be willing to surrender to him the outcome.
Your attempts to run won't make it go away. Move closer, closer still, into His arms. He will hold you tight during your time on the anvil. You can be assured that the Master watches closely, every chipping away has a purpose, every bit of stone that is painfully removed is to reveal a masterpiece that is defined and without a doubt the work of His hand.
You will be marked by your Maker....they will know who formed you...the Creator's traits will be upon you and visible for all to see.
"But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand," ISA 64:8.
