I have a friend who during the Depression lost his job, a fortune, his wife and family, and his home. But he tenaciously held to his faith... the only thing that he had left.
One day he stopped to watch some men doing stonework on a huge church. One of them was chiseling a triangular piece of stone. "What are you going to do with that?", asked my friend. The workman said," See that little opening way up there near the spire? Well, I'm shaping this down here, so it will fit up there."
Tears filled the eyes of my friend as he walked away, for it seemed that God had spoken through the workman to explain the ordeal through which he was passing... I'm Shaping You Down There, So You Will Fit Up Here."
