Michelangelo’s famous quote on David. The marble of David was very old, and even of a poorer quality than most pieces used by artist. It had been worked on by 2 other sculptors, both walked away from the unusable piece of marble. That amazes me. How was such a masterpiece sculpted from what appeared to be inferior? When asked how he created David, Michelangelo replied: “I simply took away what wasn't David". How profound, yet simple. He just chiseled away what wasn’t needed.
Father God, chisel away all the things in my life that aren't you! Shape me in your image, the image of your son. Make me more like you. Your ways are higher than my ways. I am your masterpiece. I want to move closer to you. I give you full control. Do whatever it takes. Have your way in my life.
· Principle 5: Voluntarily submit to every change God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove my character defects. Openly examine and confess my faults to myself, to God, and to someone I trust. “ Happy are hose whose greatest desire is to do what God requires.”
· Step 6: I was entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character." Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will life you up." (James 4:10)
