Rocks
Colliding against one another
The rocks in the ocean or on the shore
are big and jagged
The rocks on the beach
are smooth and rounded
Much smaller
The smaller and smoother rocks
are more weathered and worn
More treated by their
Creator
Surrounded by other rocks just
like them
The church is like these rocks
God gives other people
to bump and push against
Challenging us to break off
the rough and jagged parts
and polish slowly what is left
Sanctification
the process of rocks being turned into
sand
Sometime the big rocks
collide and crack, then
break completely
Entire pieces break off and
the rock is completely
changed.
The change can be
quick and violent
or
the change can be
slow and gradual
