The molding of a person


When God wants to drill a man and thrill a man and skill a man When God wants to mold a man to play the noblest part


When He yearns with all His heart to create so great and bold a man That all the world might be amazed - watch His methods, watch His ways


How He ruthlessly perfects whom He Royally elects How He hammers and hurts him and with mighty blows converts him Into trial shapes of clay that only God understands


While his tortured heart is crying and he lifts beseeching hands How He bends but never breaks, when his good He undertakes.


How He uses whom He chooses, and with every purpose fuses him With mighty acts induces him to try His splendor out - God knows what He's about!


Ravi Zacharias quotes this poem which is very pertinent to the theme of this blog. Whether God causes or He allows our tough times, He promises to use them to mold us into stronger, godlier people. Gain through loss!
