God is so passionate about molding us into the image of His Son that He will use any tool to accomplish that work. He will use a pastor one day, a filmmaker the next. One day he will use a professional counselor, the day after that a longtime friend. He may use a crisis, such as a death, or a celebration, such as a birth. he may use a sad country song, or a joyful song of praise. He may use a dream, or a daydream. He may even use our sin, the way He did in David’s life. Or a moment of betrayal, the way He did in Peter’s. God is patient in making a masterpieces out of our lives, taking a lifetime if necessary. He is also persistent. He will stop at nothing, except our own unwillingness to cooperate. That is a boundary He has chosen not to cross. But it is the only boundary. Tragic circumstances won’t stop Him. Physical limitations won’t stop Him. Even satanic opposition won’t stop Him. It doesn’t matter if life has shattered us, or some enemy, or even if we have caused the shattering ourselves. God reaches down, picks up the pieces, and uses them to make something beautiful. That is who He is. That is what He does.
