(Isaiah 45:8) "... doom to you who fight your Maker—you’re a pot at odds with the potter! Does clay talk back to the potter: ‘What are you doing? What clumsy fingers!’ Would a sperm say to a father, ‘Who gave you permission to use me to make a baby?’ Or a fetus to a mother, 'Why have you cooped me up in this belly?’”

The Potter’s Wheel beckons us forward, and even as our Heavenly Father's loving hands lift up the mess that is our life up towards it, we shrink away with so many excuses as to make Him smile. Nonetheless, He is persistent, and His gentle words and promises comfort us.

His loving kindness shapes us - but the final outcome doesn't appear to be as glorious as our rampant pride told us we would be!

And it doesn't end there! Once we are safely off the wheel, we are slowly affirmed in the fire of His love until all our blemishes are removed! Then comes the glazing as He pours out the armour of His Precious Name on us.

Finally, we enter again the fire of His love, but this time willingly, peacefully - His word "Mine" still ringing in our ears!

We finally emerge to see His smile complete and all the mess of our lives on His already wounded hands …!

GOD, who created all our hearts, says, “Come to Me, my dear Child, and I will show you how to break free and live! Do your part and trust in Me enough to honour Me.” 

Heavenly Father, giver of life and health: Comfort and relieve those who are sick amongst us—Baby Owen, Baby Pasley, Arianna, Miriam, Barbara, Angela, Tina, Cathy, Louise, Betty, Maria, Lorenzo, Matteo, Romeo, Sebastian, Nathaniel, Marissa, Ron, Amy, Franca, Daniela, Kristina, Paul, Roger, Alastair, Ian, Alex, Alexander, Lynette, James, Keiron, Samantha, Jay, Liliana, Maria, Susanna, and those you bring to our minds right now… Please grant your healing power to those who minister to all the sick among us so they may be strengthened in their weakness and have confidence in your loving care. We pray this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
