Molds are useful.  

There are many types of molds...

candy molds

cake molds

jello molds

antique molds

Unfortunately, we sometimes confuse people with jello or cake.  Not literally, of course.  But if we aren't careful we can be guilty of trying to "mold" people into a form that is pleasing to us, instead of accepting them simply for who they are.  We can introduce people to new opportunities, or suggest ideas that may inspire them to want to make positive changes in their lives.  However, our love and acceptance of them as human beings can not be linked to whether or not they make those changes.  All people, regardless of age, nationality, gender, religion, etc... are loved by One greater than all of us combined.  We would do well to follow His example, for that is where true happiness will be found.
