In The Potter's Hands

 I don’t want to lose sight of my goals and plans. I have a great need to remain in the Potter’s Hands. I don’t like the possibilities of what I can become when I try to do this thing called life on my on. Alone I mess things up and I have to wait for time to get things back right. I break things that only the Potter can fix. I just don’t have the proper mix and things get glued but they’re still unstable too fragile too breakable. Right now I’m still a little shattered and the Potter is working over me. Providing all of my simplest needs denying desires that may bring harm to me and revealing words of wisdom to keep and sustain me. He’s teaching me and I try to listen and understand. Recognize and acknowledge the glory of the hands I’m in, But at times I’m squirmy and undisciplined. But what better place to be while in that particular state because My Potter’s a Master and continues to work with me anyway. This is where I belong here is where I’ll remain until the Potter releases me presents me to the world in the form and image; as the vessel that He is creating me to be. As He works over me He smiles. And I bask in the ambiance of His smile. He smiles because He sees the vessel that I am going to be even while he continues to work over me. He knows where I will go and how I will be used. And I know that if I find myself broken again I will not try to fix things on my own- No! I will call on the Great Potter and He will meet me wherever I am. Taking care to pick up my broken body and He may leave behind some of my broken pieces. I may not need them to be a part of the renewed vessel He is creating me to be and although at times I may look back longingly I trust that The Potter is shaping and making me lovingly and all that I need He will give to me. Anything that gets left behind will be replaced carefully. I will be equipped with all that I need to be what and whom The Potter is creating me to be.
