Allow God to shape you
"...we are the clay, and You our potter..."
Isaiah 64:8 NKJV

Imagine a beautiful china teacup saying: 'I wasn't always like this. There was a time when I was just a cold, hard lump of clay. One day the potter picked me up and said, "I could do something with this." Then he started to put pressure on me and change my shape. I said, "What are you doing? That hurts. Stop!" But he said, "Not yet." Then he put me on a wheel and began to spin me around and around until I shouted, "Let me off." He replied, "Not yet." Then he shaped me into a cup and put me in a hot oven. I cried, "Let me out of here, I'm suffocating." But he looked at me and said, "Not yet." When he took me out, I thought his work on me was over, but then he started to paint me, then I was back in the oven, it was so hot! Then I he put me on shelf till I thought he'd forgotten me. Eventually I saw what had happened; I had become a beautiful teacup'
There are things going on in your life today that you don't understand. When you finally get to the place God wants you to be, you'll realize that He has been making you into a vessel He can use, bless, and use to bless others. So, allow God to shape you! Word4U2Day
