The potter •

The potter, what dose that mean to you. Is it just a word , or maybe even a phrase. Well to me that has a lot of meaning. It reminds me of God because God is my potter.

Recently I have listened  to a song and it has opened my eyes. It made me realize how we can really look past the simple things in life, and sometimes the simple things can have a big meaning. 

Some may ask how is God a potter? Well think of it like this... God is a creator he is the creator of everything. He made each and everyone of us from dirt.

 “And Jehovah God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭2:7‬. 

So if God is the potter then we are his clay. God took us from dirt nasty and ugly and made us into a beautiful masterpiece. Wow.  We have a a God who saw us when we were dirty and living in sin and said you are beautiful and picked us up and put us on his wheel. He made us to be a masterpiece, if that does not make you feel loved or wanted then what does.

Each piece of art work that an artist creates is not the same and the same goes for God. We were all made to be different, but we all have the same purpose which is to serve God and truly be devoted to God. 

As a potter God came to us when were broken and ugly. He saw us in our weakest and in our toughest he saw beautiful when all we saw was broken. 

“But now, O Jehovah, thou art our Father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭64:8‬
  
When we don’t have Christ we are dust that is just useless, but when we put our faith in Jesus’s death and resurrection, the living water of Jesus Christ turns ordinary dust into usable clay. God has made us who we are for a purpose far greater than we can ever imagine.
