Love you too.

Hi Kaz! Are you home already? SO lovely to hear from you, friend, and I love your heart here, love you xo

***

Oh wow, @ngie, how amazing is that that your Mom has her own studio! It looks like such a fun, creative thing to do, and as you say, so interesting to watch :)

***

Hi Hope, ha, ha, ha :D

***

Hi Susanne, so lovely to hear from you. You make such a good point here – what amazing things He can do, if we will be soft in His hands. Will email you xo

Hi Michelle, thanks so much for your encouraging words, and yes, that’s exactly the part I think of too, how the molding and the firing is not always easy. The final product is beautiful, but it’s the whole thing that so much had to happen for it to become that way.

Hi G, yes, I love that! How intentional He is with each of us, and how He has a vision of what our lives will finally look like in His purposes. I love what you said at the end too, isn’t it amazing?

Hi Roxx, I love the thought of His fingerprints being evident in some way in our lives :)

Blessings friend,

Thank you for the reminder that we are fearfully and wonderfully made and that God is intentional about how He molds us; for His glory and for His purpose in our lives to be fulfilled on earth. I am amazed, and truly honored, that God would spend so much time on me.

I love the way you’ve pulled out the process of firing and the fingerprints of the Potter. This is a great reminder that the molding and firing isn’t always easy, but it is what He desires. In His sovereign hands many lumps of clay are shaped for His glory.

My godmother was a potter and as a child I watched her at the wheel, fascinating!

It really is a fascinating process with many biblical truths.
