It's Not a Test

[Spoken — warm, deep, elderly female voice] What if this life isn't simply a test to pass? What if it's a life of becoming? Isaiah tells us that God is the potter, and we are the clay. A potter doesn't throw away the clay because it isn't perfect. He patiently shapes it into something beautiful. The Nemenhah Records teach us about Jesus Christ, the Peacemaker. His gospel invites us to grow, to forgive, to relieve suffering, and to love one another. Not simply to believe in goodness. But to become good. Perhaps the greatest question isn't, “Did I pass the test?” But rather… “Am I becoming more like Jesus Christ?” Because in the end, His gospel is about love. And love is something we learn by living it. [Soft sung ending — gentle, heartfelt] *Shape my heart and help me see,* *The loving soul I'm meant to be.*
