Tree-trunk and Sculptor
"There are very few persons who realise what God would make of them if they
abandoned themselves entirely into his hands, and let themselves be formed
by his grace.
A thick and shapeless tree-trunk would never believe that it could become a
statue, admired as a miracle of sculpture, and would never submit itself to
the chisel of the sculptor, who sees by his genius what he can make of it.
Many people who now scarcely live as Christians, do not understand that
they could become saints, if they would let themselves be formed by the
grace of God and if they did not ruin his plans by resisting the work he
wants to do."
