A beautiful handmade mug for *anyone* looking for a reminder of the Lord’s faithfulness to sanctify you…
Are the toys dumped out all over the living room floor aiding in your sanctification? Absolutely.
How about the mountains of laundry needing to be folded? (or never left the washer…and need to be rewashed). Also yes.
Traffic making a 20 minute Costco trip take an hour to get home…while the baby is crying ? You bet.
Conflict with a sister at church? Mhm.
Being married to another sinful human being? Yerp.
It is all pruning you of pride, arrogance, selfishness, a dependence on self over God Himself. The Spirit is growing you to die to yourself through repentance and go to the Lord in desperation for wisdom, discernment, patience, peace and comfort. As my friend, Abbie (M is for Mama) likes to say…hard is not the same thing as bad—it’s good if it conforms you into the image of Christ—even if it is hard, painful and difficult.
This gorgeous, drippy mug perfectly captures the chaos of all the sanctification feels, amiright?
With all of its lovely greens, teals, blues and even some copper thrown in there…I hope it reminds you that yes, whatever the thing is—the Lord is using it for your good and His glory, to mold you into His image.
