"Every man is the painter and the sculptor of his own life." St. John Chrysostom

God provides all the tools we need to shape our life. He even gives us his Son as our model. Even though we share many of the same tools, the life that flows is uniquely different from everyone else. At the same time, God is not uninterested or absent in what we are becoming. When we mar our image through sin, he recreates us and gives us a fresh new start.  He inspires us with his grace. But the ultimate person I become depends on how I use the tools and grace given to me. Be responsible and meticulous. The ultimate me will either be with God eternally or alienated from him.
