The Lord has taken a vessel like me, and shaped it for an eternity. An empty, cracked vessel like this, He has filled with Eternal Bliss. All my sin, Christ has set apart, as God began a work in my heart. He cleansed me first of all my sin, then He started a change within. I am molded by God’s loving hand, in ways I may not understand. God’s the potter and I’m the clay, to be molded in His perfect way. Who am I to even think or say, in suggesting to God a better way? For God lifted me out of the mire, to shape my life per His desire. We are created for God’s pleasure, as part of His Eternal treasure. We are given a New Life to glorify, Jesus Christ, who lives on high. We’re here to serve The Living God, on this temporal earth we trod. Friend, in this life, I can not ill afford, to question the will of my Lord. God has my life under His control, along with every other living soul. I’m just a tiny part of God’s plan, to bring His Salvation to every man. And I am blessed as God uses me, in pointing other men to eternity. To the cross of His Son Jesus Christ, the eternal author of every life. God knows the plans He has for me, sure plans for future prosperity. It may not seem to be of worth, compared to the values of this earth. But as a part of God’s pleasure, He’s storing for me eternal treasure. So one thing that I can surely say; I am so blessed to be God’s Clay. He's coming very soon, the signs are very clear, |

The Potter and the clay are portrayed beautifully in this piece, Bob. I try to conform to God's will, but seldom think of being His clay and Him molding me, although I know it's true. Thank you for this great reminder. God bless Rae |

Yes, we are very blessed to be God's Clay. What an awesome thought. There is a song that says "He just picked up the pieces, He didn't throw the clay away." It was recorded by The Cathedrals who are no longer because the two older gentlemen have now gone on to be with Jesus. What a loss for us. Blessings - oh, you might want to try to use the term "human" instead of using just the term "man" as some people may take offence. You know the society we live in. Just a thought. Sheri Adams Jesus lives in my heart! He can in yours too!!! |
