While The Lord formed us in our mother's womb our parents were resident somewhere when we were conceived. After that .....our history tells the story. How you were brought up...a product of your parents, guardians, relatives etc efforts.
Good and bad traits were passed down. Often we can see these traits written all over us! From physical looks to posture, hairline, gait and even our speech are filled with our parents*
We must also remember the traits passed down to us thru the line of Adam....the sinful nature has overlooked no one! Learned practices follow us too.....manners or lack thereof, slothfulness and or an anal personality can grab hold
We are flawed with many imperfections that were passed down.
Then He finds us!
Gentle He lifts us onto His wheel and the process of molding us into His likeness and image begins.
It's out heart He is most interested in I believe.....as our heart goes the rest will follow.
Don't wait until those pearly gates for change. We LOVE Him because He first loved us. Our love SAYS something about our commitment . Don't think of it as a process of taking away or giving up from our lives but as mom would say, "the Cross is a Big Plus Sign"
Stay pliable my friend and don't get off the wheel until He has completed His Perfect work in you!
Blessings!
*or those who raised us
