and then this popped in my head

“He is the potter; I am the clay.” That metaphor from the book of Jeremiah came to mind along with some questions too

Why does the Potter put us on the wheel? Why does He bear down on us at times? Why does He keep working us, molding us, shaping us? What is He after?



Go back with Jeremiah to the potter’s house. You won’t discover the purpose for your life there, but you learn something even more important than that. You understand that the potter has a purpose. Watch him—he is serious. He does not play with the clay; this is his work. He is giving his time, his talents, his energy to working the clay



then I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was, making something at the wheel. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make –Jeremiah 18:3, 4



l@@k over his shoulder; you may not know what the finished piece will look like, but you are convinced the potter knows what he is doing



God has a purpose in how He is shaping us, and that comforts me. He has a plan, and He knows what He is doing. When God puts us on the wheel of circumstance, He means to accomplish something. He has a purpose for fulfilling



the onlooker can’t guess His purpose, neither can the clay under His hand. But someday we will know.



now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. -1 John 3:2



the psalmist says, “…I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness” (Psalm 17:15). One day we will be like Him. That’s what all His work is about



that’s going to be a fair morning, a new day! God will be vindicated, because He is not being cruel when He causes you to suffer. Some glorious day, you’ll see the Potter had a purpose in your life



recall what Paul writes to the Ephesians. It starts off doleful with “and you…were dead in trespasses and sins.” But that’s not the end. There is more: “… that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:1, 7). In the ages to come we’ll be on display, revealing what the Potter can do with lifeless clay. He gets the glory. It will be wonderful to be a vessel in the Master’s hand



🙂🙂👍 now isn't it nice to be kneaded ❓
