Transformed
I Am the Potter, you are the Clay. I am molding and shaping you into My image. Submit to the process. Yield to My hands. I am transforming you into a vessel of honor. A vessel to be used for My glory. There is grace for this. I am the one empowering you to endure. The process seems difficult, but it is the pain that produces a glory that causes others to see Me. Stand strong Beloved. You’ve got this! Arise and shine!
