LOVE THE YOU GOD HAD MADE YOU TO BE AND MAKING YOU TO BE!

LOVE THE YOU GOD HAS MADE YOU TO BE AND MAKING YOU TO BE!

Shall the potter be regarded as the clay, that the thing made should say of its maker, “He did not make me”; or the thing formed say of him who formed it, “He has no understanding”? —Isaiah 29:16

            Are you satisfied with who you are?  Do you desire to be like someone else?  Does God make mistakes?  Are you wishing you were somebody else other than yourself?  Why?  Do you know better than God?

            God made you!  He made you like you are and who you are.  Of course we have responsibility in decision making, but we do not have control over the clay of us.  No, that is God the Potter that forms those He creates and that is where we need to start.  If we do not understand and accept that our Lord God Almighty has formed us for His purposes, then we need to find our hope elsewhere and where would that be that is better than our hope in God and in His Son and in His Spirit?  Those who put their hope in anything or anyone else other than Jesus only find shattered shards in their search.

            God formed you.  Be grateful and live the life He has for you.  Honor Him by yielding to His on-going forming of you.  Know full well that He understands and knows what He is doing even when we may not.  So often we don’t understand because we don’t have His big picture and our minds just can’t comprehend His ways.  So let us trust Him with what we do not understand, knowing He understands and that is enough.  Let us be faithful to what we do know and that is plenty.  Yes, Dear Potter, may I be grateful to You for making me as You have.  May I be faithful with the decisions You have given me to make.  Yes, may I do so by the power of Your Holy Spirit and in the authority of Your Son Jesus.  You are the Potter, I am the clay.  May I be yielded to Your will.  Yes, may this be so. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88X4aVTk2rA
