God is the Potter

 "Like CLAY in the hand of a POTTER, so are you in my HAND..." Jeremiah 18:6

In Ephesians 2:10 we read, “For we are His HANDIWORK, created in Christ Jesus for the good works prepared in advance..."

Not only does Jesus know what we go through, but because He knows, He is able to form us, mold us, prepare us for our mission. My friend Marion had a pottery making session and this is the precious gem she learned: 

"You can't do anything with the clay unless it is CENTERED. 

Only then can you make pots and wares. 

Otherwise, it is rendered useless and the potter cannot even make anything out of it! If not centered, it gets damaged and it sure wouldn't look much of a beauty!

For some of us, God needs extra time to mold us like the clay I did today, with so many ups and downs before it is ready to be created for something great. For some, it takes only awhile. But nonetheless, for all of us, until our lives are CENTERED on the Lord, we are all but useless shards 

and we count for nothing.

All of us are God's clay. He has made each one of us for His special purposes. Until we center our lives on Him, He cannot use us for His glory."

Psalm 139:14 states it well: “I praise you God for I am fearfully and wonderfully made!"

Thank you for being my Potter!
