Origami

I love origami. It makes my heart beat to see a fresh piece of paper cut into square. Its seems to ask, "What shall I be in your hands." You begin by setting out your basic folds. They become the foundation for you eniter piece, little mistakes at the beginning will effect the finished product.

Eventually you create what is called a base. A base is the point where all the points of paper are there, and its ready to be shaped. It really doesn't look like much, but any base can turn into a huge array of different animals and figures.

As you shape and mold the paper its actually becomes something. Some take hours of shaping and additional folding, others come together quickly and simply, but the end result is always worth it.

God looks upon each one of us, and sets to shape us and mold us to be more than what we started. We may start with a piece of paper and end with a crane. God may start with a sinner and finish with a saint. We may be young and fresh or old and already folded up, but we can allow ourselves to be molded by the master's hands.
