What do you say when you are asked
How are you?
Are you
Just Fine
Just Good
Just because that is easy to say?
How are you really?
I have a new answer
to
How am I?
Transforming
Yup...
Transforming
As I am
the
Clay
in the palm of
my
Father's hands
Who is
Molding me
Shaping me
into the likeness of
His Son
For
God knew what He was doing from the very beginning. He decided from the outset to shape the lives of those who love Him along the same lines as the life of His Son. Romans 8:29
Does it hurt?
At times yes
the
Stretching
the
Spinning
the worse is the
Firing
in the kiln
when the temperature gets really hot
wondering when will it stop
but then
in
His Perfect Timing
I am pulled out
Shiny~
a
New Creation
better than I was before
A Pot
A Clay Pot
Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the Potter;
we are all the work of your Hand. Isaiah 64:8
A perfect pot?
Oh no,
as this is just the beginning
because
this pot gets
cracked
but
it is still a
pot
but
His Perfect Pot
For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:10
and I say
Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. Psalm 139:14
So I ask again
How are you?
Are you on spinning, being stretched or in the firing stage?
However you are
you are
His Perfect Pot
Clay in His Hands
as
He continues to
cause everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them. Romans 8:28
His Perfect Cracked Pot
Filled to the brim
with
His Son
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this
all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 2 Corinthians 4:7
God's
Transforming
power
working in
Our Clay Pots
that
will never get so cracked
that they crumble
We are
hard pressed on every side, but not crushed;
perplexed, but not in despair;
persecuted, but not abandoned;
struck down, but not destroyed. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9
So
Let's
enjoy the ride
on the
Potter's Wheel
because
How are you~
Perfect
in
the
Palms
of
Your
Potter's Hands
