"O house of Israel, can I not do with you as the potter does?" declares the Lord. "Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel." Jeremiah 18:6
We all wonder, “What’s happening to me?” during trying, painful experiences of our lives. But maybe it's at that very moment that the shaping of the Potter is occurring in ways you would never understand or appreciate without those difficult times.
Pottery can only be created while the clay is moldable: in the hands of a craftsman it goes from being earth to a thing of beauty. The beauty of the final creation is what the Potter has in mind as He shapes and molds.
God’s molding and shaping us is an ongoing process. Don’t get too wrapped up in how it will take place in the future because there is enough shaping going on in your life today!
The future of what God has in store for your life will be beautiful as you stay pliable in His loving hands. The hurt that accompanies God’s shaping process is for your good. Today, may your heart stay soft and open to The Potter’s work despite the difficult circumstances you are sometimes in this year. <3 Mom
