December 16 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.
