  There is a difference between growth and self rejection.
• 0:05
  One bills you, the other drains you.
• 0:10
  Today's scripture is coming from Isaiah chapter #64 verse 8.
• 0:13
  And this is the NIV and it reads.
• 0:16
  Yet you Lord, are our fog. We are the clay, You are the
• 0:23
  Potter, we are all the work of your hand.
• 0:28
  Let's go deeper. It is easy to be hard on
• 0:34
  yourself when progress feels slow.
• 0:37
  You notice the gaps, the habits you thought would be gone by
• 0:41
  now, the maturity you expected to have already mastered.
• 0:46
  And if you're not careful, improvement turns into pressure.
• 0:52
  Be better, do more, fix this faster.
• 0:57
  But this scripture reminds us of something grounding.
• 1:01
  You are clay, not the Potter. That doesn't mean you are
• 1:07
  passive. It means you are not required to
• 1:11
  punish yourself into transformation.
• 1:14
  The shaping process isn't driven by shame, it is guided by
• 1:19
  skilled hands. Growth happens best when you are
• 1:25
  cooperative, not combative, aware, not aggressive,
• 1:30
  committed, not condemning. You're allowed to work on
• 1:34
  yourself without working against yourself.
• 1:39
  Yes, keep growing, keep refining, but don't rush what's
• 1:43
  being formed with care. Peace doesn't slow progress, it
• 1:49
  stabilizes it. And here's today's reflection
• 1:53
  moment. Consider this, where have I been
• 1:58
  rushing myself instead of trusting the shaping?
• 2:02
  And what would change if I treat growth as collaboration, not
• 2:09
  correction? And here's face declaration
• 2:13
  moment. Repeat this after me.
• 2:15
  I am a work in progress and that is not a flaw.
• 2:20
  I participate in growth without self attack.
• 2:24
  I allow the process to mature me fully.
• 2:28
  Peace strengthens my becoming. And here's today's prayer.
• 2:35
  God, thank you that we are not self-made projects but
• 2:38
  intentional works in your hands. Thank you for the patience built
• 2:43
  into the process. Help us stay committed to growth
• 2:47
  without being critical of ourselves.
• 2:50
  We trust the shaping and we stay present in it.
• 2:53
  That we thank you for making sure that we're all whole and
• 2:56
  complete, but nothing missing but all lacking.
• 2:59
  We thank you for making sure that we continue to have
• 3:01
  prosperity and peace beyond our circumstances and understanding.
• 3:06
  We honor you for all these things and making sure that
• 3:08
  everyone that is near dear to our heart is always safe and
• 3:11
  protected. And we thank you for all these
• 3:13
  things. And we state this in the Maximus
• 3:15
  name of Jesus the Christ King. We do prayer, Amen.
• 3:19
  God bless you all, I love you and I hope you have a fantastic
• 3:24
  day today. Y'all take care.
• 3:27
  One last thought. You don't have to rush what's
• 3:30
  being shaped with precision. Peace isn't quitting the
• 3:34
  process, it's honoring how it works.
