The lump of clay in the hands of the Potter
Have you ever seen a potter at work? The prophet Jeremiah was sent to the Potter's workshop where he came face to face with the work of the Potter. He saw how the Potter handled the clay, how he started re-moulding  the clay afresh whenever he was not satisfied with the outcome of his work until he finally arrived at what he wanted. In the same way, God as the sovereign Lord of all creation, has the absolute right to handle, mould and remould each one of us as He wills. "....can't I do with you what this potter does? As clay in the potter's hand so are you in my hands" Jer. 18:6. The clay therefore cannot dictate to the potter, it can be beaten/soften to become pliable as the Potter knows what he wants to make out of each lump of clay. He is very patient till he is satisfied with his work..... come to think of it, God has a plan for you and me.....He is the Potter and we are the clay, the work of His capable Hands, He alone can mould and fashion us into the image of Jesus His Son. It's good to know and accept that God is still busy with me as He can see all the flaws in me, therefore there is hope not to give up on myself or the other one.
Total surrender is required to yield to His Will.... Lord do with me as you will, not my will but Yours.......
