the potter's house ...

‘Come, go down to the potter’s house, and there I will let you hear my words.’
Jeremiah 18:2

The work of a pottery-maker is my favorite imagery of God seeking to shape each of us into the individuals and communities he desires us to become. He gives us the freedom to resist. He shapes us as fast as we allow him to do so. His feet spin the potter's wheel as fast as we can take it and his hands mold us.

So my choice today is how much will I allow God to shape me.
