Reconstruction

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Romans12:2

 1" This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD: 2 “Go down to the potter’s house, and there I will give you my message.” 3 So I went down to the potter’s house, and I saw him working at the wheel. 4 But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him.
 5 Then the word of the LORD came to me. 6 He said, “Can I not do with you, Israel, as this potter does?” declares the LORD. “Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, Israel. "
Jeremiah 18:1-6


God wants to remodel & reconstruct us. We are ultimately like clay in His hands. But what precedes reconstruction is demolition. Walls, old broken foundations, have to be torn out, torn down, blown apart, before the "project" can start to be transformed. People, much more often than not, have preconceived notions of who God is, and the boundaries and the little boxes our minds have put Him in, the shelves and closets we have tried to shove Him into, partitioning Him (we think) from unrighteousness and darkness in our unawakened condition... Demolition is violent, and make no mistake about it, our "remodel" will have some pain involved, it's guaranteed ... When we understand that the reason we should consider all the trials and tribulations (James 1) as JOY is because we are being remodeled - embrace it. It is the REVELATION of the KNOWLEDGE of who God is, and all that we are- that opens our eyes, and shatters preconceptions.
We are being transformed, and our Master Builder/Bridegroom/King will continue His work until the Day.
God really is Love - I know it sounds so cliché, but GOD REALLY IS LOVE...! It is magnetic, we cannot outrun Him, He really is relentless, that ache that is deep inside all of us is the deep-calling-to-deep, spirit-to-spirit pull of the Bridegroom.
It it the reason we were created, and only He can satisfy.
Embrace your remodeling process today.
