Rocks

Rocks

Colliding against one another

The rocks in the ocean or on the shore

are big and jagged

The rocks on the beach

are smooth and rounded

Much smaller

The smaller and smoother rocks

are more weathered and worn

More treated by their

Creator

Surrounded by other rocks just

like them

How is the church like these rocks?

How is God gives other people

to bump and push against

Challenging us to break off

the rough and jagged parts

and polish slowly what is left

How can the process of

sanctification be like the

process of rocks being turned into

sand?

Sometime the big rocks

collide and crack, then

break completely

Entire pieces break off and

the rock is completely

changed.

The change can be

quick and violent

or

the change can be

slow and gradual
