God is doing the same thing to you. He is chipping away parts of your life that are not the real you and is freeing you, so you can work with Him. God, the master artist, is working to remove impatience so you can demonstrate patience to others. He is working to remove resentment and bitterness so you can demonstrate His forgiveness and love. God already sees the best version of you, and He’ll turn you into that, if you’ll let Him. Remember: Your life is not your project; it’s God’s project.
