Jesus Will Give A Shape To Your Life
We know that natural calamities can destroy buildings and cities. But these can always be built back up.
However, what if your life is destroyed? Who can repair your life? Only the life-giver! That is why we see that God asks us to give Him our hearts that He may build it up for us.
Jesus says in Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
Jesus is the only one that can give us rest and restore us. Heaven has no age barrier, God can rebuild you at any age and restore us to a better shape than we were before.
When God called Jeremiah, he was only a young boy. His first response to God’s call was “Alas, Sovereign LORD,” I said, “I do not know how to speak; I am too young.”7 But the LORD said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am too young.’ You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. 8 Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the LORD. (Jeremiah 1.6-8)
Samuel, who was a great prophet who anointed Kings, was submitted to God soon after he was born. Age doesn’t matter to God- just give your life to God and He can build it up.
In Jeremiah chapter 15, we read that God sent Jeremiah to a potter's house. He saw the potter shaping some unformed clay into a beautiful vessel. The Potter was able to shape it his way because it does not run away from the Potter’s hands. If we fully surrender ourselves to God like clay, He can work this art in our lives.
Romans 9:20-21
But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’” 21 Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?
Sometimes we question God about why He created us in a certain way. But we can never question the creator and when we surrender is when He can easily mould us. This Potter can shape us into a beautiful vessel.
2 Timothy 2:20-21
In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. 21 Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.
God desires to build each life. But for this, we need to surrender/ yield to Him fully and not follow other people’s life. We must take time to sit in His presence like clay in the hands of the potter. We shouldn’t run away from Him.
1 Corinthians 6:17
But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit.
We should not live with a double mind but be fully united with the Lord.
James 1:8
Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.
The moment we are born again, we receive the mind of Christ. This is different from our mind. We must not live with two minds. Our mind must be transformed to Christ’s mind.
Romans 12:2
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
For a transformation, we must sit with Him, meditate His Word and follow Him. When we decide to live with Him, His finger works on us.
When God moulds us, he first cleanses us and weeds out all the things we built in our own lives without God. Only once He takes out all the unnecessary things in us can He begin moulding a new life.
How many of us can surrender fully to this process?
Abraham Lincoln saw great failures in His early life. He started many failed businesses, his fiancé passed away, many of his children passed away, he lost many elections. He has a mental breakdown after many failures and was even treated for this. It was this same man who became a great American president.
Many of us have seen failure after failure, but this makes you the best candidate for God to rebuild. We don’t make our victories, God gives them to us. When we surrender our lives to Him, He can work for us and rebuild us to our full potential and as per His perfect will for us. We can win because the winner Jesus lives in us. Even a mountain is like a molecule for Him.
Zechariah 4:6-7
So he said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty. 7 “What are you, mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of ‘God bless it! God bless it!’”
