Last week my sister sent an email with a devotional about the potter and his hands. It used the scripture of Jeremiah 18.
So I went down to the potter's house, and there he was working at his wheel. And the vessel he was making of clay was spoiled in the potter's hand, and he reworked it into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to do.
I have been thinking about that scripture this week....
I have had a very good life. Much of it has been easy and some of it has not. There have been some very hard days we have walked through over the years. They have not been easy. But now that we are through those trials and struggles I can say, "Thank you God for walking with us through the struggles and making us who we are now."
Those struggles have shored up our foundation and brought us to a more solid footing. They have strengthened our relationship with God. We know Him better now. We have a better understanding of who God is and how He works.
We have come through the Potter's hands with new beauty and strength.
Have you hated your past? hated yourself? wished you were someone else? wished certain things had never happened in your life? Are you sorrowful that you had to go through an illness, an accident, a divorce, a death?
God cares about us and wants the best for us. As a potter, He reshapes our lives as it seems good for the potter to do.
I will leave you with this quote from Shana Schutte. "You can't be who you are without being who you were."
GOD IS WORKING IN YOUR LIFE....
