Ephesians 2:13-22But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For He himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.
Ephesians 2:8-10 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
Reading, pondering, meditating, and soaking in these verses. It's not bad to be broken and shattered. Because the good news is in Jesus Christ, that when we are His, we are being sanctified. It is a continuous journey until death of our earthly bodies.
So, thus the journey of constantly changing. Continuously being molded and transformed for the glory of Christ. I am changing. I'm becoming more soft with emotions and more emboldened with the truths of God's word. (The Holy Bible) It sounds counter intuitive. But God is not just wisdom. God is also controlled emotions. Learning this in Psalms currently. God is just, love, wise, compassionate, vengeance to the wicked, and merciful to those who fear Him. It's written all over the Psalms.
I'm broken, to be molded.
James 1:6-7 In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith--more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire--may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
I'm broken, to give God all the glory.
Now to keep my hands open and lifted up to Him.
