Like water chiseling rock – v3

Persistently, slowly, relentlessly,
God changes our hate into love,
even love for our enemies,
our fear into faithfulness,
like water chiseling rock…
 
God softens our hard places,
our edges, dangers of our emotions,
God reshapes, God reforms our clay,
putting us on the Potter’s wheel,
our bodies Into God’s image…
