A Beautiful Teacup Everyone Wants to Buy (Potter's House).

God has an awesome plan for our lives; and sometimes He starts changing things so fast that we feel dizzy and disoriented, like a lump of clay on a potter’s wheel, but we have to trust that he is working out what is best for us (Romans 8.28). We need just go with the flow and let Him make us into something beautiful.

I wasn’t always like this; there was a time when I was just a cold hard colourless lump of clay. God one day looked at me and thought, “I could do something with this”. Then He started to pat me, and roll me, and change my shape. I said, “what are you doing? That hurts! I don’t know  if I want to look like this! Stop!” but He said, “not yet” then He put me on a wheel, and began to spin me around and around, until i screamed, "let me off, I am getting dizzy! "not yet," He said. Then He shaped me into a cup, and put me in a hot oven. I cried, let me out! It's hot in here, I am suffocating!" But He just looked at me through that little glass window and smiled and said, "not yet".

When He took me out, I thought His work on me was over, but then He started to paint me. I could not believe what He did next; He put me back into the oven, and I said, "you have to believe me, I can't stand this! Please let me out!" But He said, "not yet". Finally He took me out of the oven, and put me up on a shelf where I thought He had forgotten me. Then one day He took me off the shelf and held me before a mirror. I couldn't believe my eyes. I had become a beautiful teacup that everyone wants to buy."

There may be things going on the inside of us that we don't understand. But when we finally arrive at the place where God wants to bring us, we will see how it has prepared us for what God wanted of us all along.

Isa 64:8 But now, O LORD, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter; And all we are the work of Your hand.
