God Reshaping Us

His Hands Are Re-Forming

The Potter’s skillful hands re-form as well as form us.  Remember the potter from Jeremiah 18.  When he saw that the vessel seemed marred, he squeezed the clay into a new lump and started to re-form it.

Sometimes we think we’re unusable and even unredeemable.  We’ve done something for which we feel shame and guilt, and we think God can no longer do much with us.  Our problems are occasionally of our own making, and our pain may arise from our own stupidity.  But when we bring our sin to the Lord, confess it earnestly, nail it to the cross of Christ, and surrender it to the power of His shed blood, God can take our sins and shame from us and then mold us into a vessel that glorifies Him…..

David Jeremiah, Signs of Life, p.  116
