tina's space12月16日 The Potter and the ClayI must first say thank God that he is the kind of potter than doesn't throw away the messed up clay.
I am at a time in my life were it seems I am continuely and constantly on the potters wheel.
Although it is painful being tore down and re molded I find great joy in knowing that it is all out of
Love for me. Looking back I can see times that I, the clay, somehow thought I could become this
beautiful piece of pottery without being put on the wheel and through the fire.
Let's say you go to a store and see a beautiful piece of pottery on display that you absolutly love
and you want one just like it. I couldn't go buy the clay and set it on display at my house and expect
it to look like that piece in the store. That would be crazy to even attempt. I might even go out and buy
a potters wheel and try to make one like that piece but it wouldn't turn out to look like that beautiful piece
no matter what I done to it because I am not a potter.
This is what God has showed me about myself and my life. If I want to be the woman of God that I so
want to be I have to be put on the wheel and allow him to gently mold and shape me so that I become
just like that beautiful piece of pottery he created me to be. The clay could never become pottery without
first being put on the potters wheel.
It is the same with all of us. How insane is it to think that we, the creation, could be anything without the creator. Satan has deceived mankind into thinking that the clay doesn't need a potter that it can somehow
make itself become a great piece of pottery without the potters hands shaping it.
So with me knowing that God and only God knows how to make me look just like that one beautiful piece I
count it all joy to know that I am with each passing day gettting closer to being that beautiful piece and becoming less and less like the clump of clay I started out to be. Thank you God for loving us enough to never give up or take your hands off no matter how hard the clay. 11月16日 I choose to believe GodI must start by saying I am so grateful to the Lord for another day because to wake up each morning is truly a gift from God. I made a choice that I would praise and worship the Lord in-spite of myself, my feelings, my circumstances and anything that could sway me from it. I have heard a lot of teaching lately on our emotions and feelings. It is so very important that we as Christians do not allow them to control us or influence our decisions. If you are anything like me that is contrary to everything I was told most of my life. I can think of one that I am sure we have all lived by at one time or another, "Always follow your Heart". This can be the best advice and the worst I do believe. I don't know about you but for me it was the worst. The reason being, my heart was full of darkness, hate, unforgiveness, pride, selfishness, lies and I could name more. Looking back I can understand with a lot more clarity as to why my life was the disaster that it was. In Proverbs 23:7 it tells us that "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he". I was what my heart was. Thank God he has given us a new heart. I had many failed attempts at trying to change my life. I didn't understand why I always ended up falling back into that life that I desperately wanted free from. It was like I could never get completely free from that old me and all the guilt and shame. What the Lord has showed me is I had to choose to believe the word and all that it says that I am in Jesus, no matter what my feelings were. The Lord has revealed to me how I have to believe his word regardless of what my feelings or thoughts may be. So now I choose to start praising him when things look bad and thank him and worship him when the winds of the storm are blowing. I know for a fact that no matter what happens God is with me, He will never leave me
and I can't help but want to Bless the Lord, Oh my Soul and with all that is in me because of all his goodness and love. May God bless you with all his loving-kindness.
11月9日 The Joy of the Lord I spent many years not knowing true peace and joy so I can't help but talk about the Joy and Goodness of the Lord.
God is doing so many awesome things in my life and in me and I just want to share that with other people.
I have been in a place were I was so lost and full of despair and couldn't see any way out. I was beat down, full of
pain that had nearly consumed me and felt forsaken by God and everyone who knew me. I could not see past the
despair nor could I find any peace for my extremely discontented soul. During in this time death seemed my only escape from my anguish and misery.
I thank God that he didn't see me as I saw myself. I am so glad he knew there would come a time I would trade all the gloom and despair for the gifts that he is so ready to give in exchange. He has give me Joy that's unspeakable
and peace that can't be understood. Even though I am going through a season that is some what painful right now I am still able to walk in the Joy & Peace of the Lord. This is a amazing thing that God is teaching me, That no-matter what is going on in our lives or what our circumstances maybe you can have the peace and joy of the Lord in the midst of it all.
I wouldn't trade this season, of growing and learning to have complete reliance upon the Lord, for nothing at all.
I pray you walk in the Joy and Peace of the Lord.
