My daughter and I had the recent pleasure of visiting a local pottery studio/gallery. During our time there, she created two beautiful pieces. They may not win awards in a juried show, but watching her create them with the help of the master potter was such fun! It was wonderful to see her satisfaction as they took the shape she had envisioned for them. They will always be treasured.
Reflecting on this experience made me glad that the Master Potter, always patient and deliberate, is not content to leave me in my current state, but is continually shaping me, smoothing away my rough edges, patching the occasional crack, and ultimately, creating a vessel for His use. I may not see His full plan, but I can trust that I am safe in His hands.
