He is the Potter...we are the clay

Romans 9:21
"Hath not the Potter power over the clay..."

Some interesting thoughts....

The pot does not tell the Potter "I'm finished, I'm complete, I'm whole" No...that is the job of the Potter.

The Potter takes raw, inexperienced material to make his pot.

He adds water, consistently, gently, to get the clay filled with what will help it be usable.

Then he kneeds it, sometimes roughly, to finish the process of preparation.

Lastly,  He molds & designs, using His Own Hands to shape the individual piece "just right".

He is the Potter...we are the clay.

There are times when each of us resist the water, the kneading, the molding. It can be inconvenient, uncomfortable, even harsh.

BUT...we can NEVER become the Child of God that only He Knows we can become if we do not allow the Potter to do His Work.

I'm just sayin' 😇
