That may sound spiritual, but in reality, it usually hurts. I often think of clay being pressed into a mold,

and wonder how the clay would feel if it had feelings. Being changed into an entirely different shape would probably be painful.

If we take a lump of clay and press it into a mold, there is always too much clay to fit, and some pieces must be discarded.

I found that there was more of me than would fit into the mold of Jesus Christ,so many of my thoughts,words,and actions had to be discarded.
