My daughter is a kindergarten teacher. The children love to create with their play-dough. Wondering just what they’ve made, you often ask “What’s that?” You’ll get various replies, perhaps a fire truck, dog, cat, doll, mommy and daddy, or my house. The point is, they are making the play-dough into what they want or need it to be.

As a Christian adult this reminds me of a hymn we sing at services called, “Change My Heart O God.” The hymn quotes scripture where it says, “You are the potter, I am the clay. Mold me and make me, this is what I pray …”

When we first surrender to the will of God and ask Him to come into our lives, we don’t demand that we pick and choose His will for us. Rather we accept His forgiveness for our shortcomings and ask Him to use us for His purpose. We pray that His Holy Spirit will guide us into those areas that He has chosen, that He will utilize any talents He has blessed us with to accomplish His purpose. We ask to share the Good News of His Love and forgiveness to all who do not yet believe. That’s Gods Unconditional Love, in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us and by rising from the dead conquered sin and death once and for all.

As Christians, in Him we live and breathe and are!  Maranatha!

Remember God loves you unconditionally!

“Yet you, LORD, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.” Isaiah 64:8
“So I went down to the potter’s house, and I saw him working at the wheel. But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him.” Jeremiah 18:3-4
