The prophet Jeremiah learned something about God in a potter's shop (Jer. 18:1-10). The craftsman was working at his wheel, shaping a pot from the clay that swirled through his hands. Then something went wrong. Perhaps there was some impurity in the clay. But the potter did not fling the clay aside; instead, he started forming another pot with a new design.
That's the picture of how the Lord works. He is continually shaping His people. He takes our flawed material and turns it into a new creation.
What's more, the potter must be willing to get his hands into the clay. God is involved with His creation, He is involved with you. He does not stand at arm's length from His work. He saw that we needed a saviour to rescue us from our sin, so He sent His Son Jesus to give His life in our place.
Let God have your life....He can do with it much more than you can !
