Clay

Sometimes my life is so easy, really most the time it is. So at times I forget I need to be molded by the Father. I love the analogy of the potter and the clay because I have made pottery before and I understand the process. It makes sense to me that sometimes the process is just smoothing things out, making it beautiful . At times though you can find an imperfection and you have to work to get it out, sometimes it even requires beating the clay back down and starting over.

I know God is constantly working on me, working on turning me into something beautiful. There are times though I feel the molding more. It is not just smoothing things out, it is working out an imperfection, something that cannot remain to have a solid, perfect piece. He's found an imperfection. I am feeling the molding right now, and though it makes life not as easy, I know it has a purpose and I will let him do it, because I want to be with him forever. I want to be a beautiful work of his art.
