What if I were going to go under a surgeon’s knife to redo my face, but I wanted to stay awake during the operation so I could tell the surgeon exactly how I wanted him to work on me? What If I told him to hurry? What if I were so impatient that I just wanted the doctor to start slashing and cutting at my impatience? What kind of an outcome do you think I’d get?

“Well, doctor, this isn’t what we agreed on! Shouldn’t my nose be a little more centered on my face?” 

God is doing a work in you and me that will last eternity. The process is delicate; it takes time, but the outcome is worth enduring! When you make a carving of a lion, you chip off everything that doesn’t look like a lion! That’s what God is doing in His Extreme Makeover of us. He is chipping off everything that doesn’t look like His Son!
