Seeds from the Sower

When Michelangelo was planning a statue, he went to the marble quarry for a stone. All he could find in the size he wanted was a reject.

He took it, and formed the body of David into a position it would fit.

That strained body of THE BOY DAVID he sculptured gave life to the statue.

That's what our Lord did. He took rejects. Mary Magdalene was a prostitute, but she became a sensitive, sweet believer.

Matthew was a rich and wretched thief, but he became the writer of the gospel of Matthew.

Peter was a salty, swearing fisherman, but he became a great preacher.

Let the Lord transform your life, won't you?
