The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. Jeremiah 31:3 KJV
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love,not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another (1 John 4:7-11 KJV).

My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth (Psalm 139:15 KJV).
To create a sculpture, the designer must envision what isn’t there.
It takes hours of labor before his vision is a reality.
Great design is challenging, but the end result is magnificent.
Here’s a video sharing the journey from the quarry to the finished product. Enjoy!
Dear Lord, You are the Great Designer. You see what I cannot. You know what I do not. Only you can remove the unnecessary parts. I pray, take chisel in hand and shape me into Your image. Amen
