Let God take control, His ways are better than ours!
Using the image of a sawmill transforming a gnarled, ugly piece of wood into a beautiful mantelpiece, Philip Cameron reminds us that God works beneath the surface of our lives. He encourages viewers to surrender to God's refining process and trust that it will reveal who they truly are.

Boy, do I love those shows on Facebook, building shows. And there's one that I really like. There's a guy who got a sawmill. He takes the gnarliest, most horrible piece of wood. The other day he ate something from a dock, and it was black and gross. And he said, I'm going to make a mantelpiece out of this. And he put it through the saw, and all this rough stuff came right off. And underneath the surface of this horrible thing was this gorgeous piece of wood. And he worked on it. He polished it. Let me tell you, seeing your life, the outside doesn't tell the whole story of what God's working in. And he's got a way of coming along and planing off some of the rough stuff, and planing off some of the debris, and letting who you really are shine. I promise you, let him do it. Get on the sawmill. I promise it will change your life. I promise you, let him do it. I promise you, let him do it. I promise you, let him do it. I promise you, let him do it. I promise you, let him do it. I promise you, let him do it. I promise you, let him do it. I promise you, let him do it.
