Broken Until Powder

"And we all, with unveiled face,
beholding the glory of the Lord,
are being transformed into the same image 

from one degree of glory to another.
For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit."

2 Corinthians 3:18

If I were to be a type of mineral that is malleable I would choose to be glass. I'm sure most people would desire to be gold or diamonds but I would choose to be glass. Glass is easily shattered. Once shattered there are endless possibilities of how the glass can be remolded. Gold and other such minerals tend to be stubborn under the pressure of a maker. You need to use chemicals to strip them away from others. Glass is quite different from that. It is very fragile, easily broken under the pressure of someone who can melt those broken pieces into something beautiful and precious. I see it as one of the most humble minerals that humans use.

Lately I've noticed a lot of stubbornness and blindness in my own life. Which is absolutely frustrating yet allowing me to be more focused on the main thing. Honestly I am exhausted to the core on a lot of things that are going on in my life. Though I do not desire to be it is a problem. When will I come out of this? When will I be rescued from this? Who knows.. I just know that there is a valley of shadows that I must go through. I pray that my pride and self-righteousness is broken, powdered to dust so that my Creator may mold me into a new creation for His glory. That is my desire..
