We Are The Clay

Again many things have been going on in my life and the Lord has been working in my heart in many ways. The other day John was talking to me about an awesome messege he heard in chapel at PCC. The theme of this messege was the relationship of the clay to the Potter. The Lord had used this message to convict John about some choices he was making. And in the same way the Lord was emphasizing to me how I(the clay) should respect and reverence my Potter. One thing that stood out was the idea that a pot(or clay) doesn't complain about how the potter has made it. My shyness has been a factor that I have tried so hard to change. But after some needed advice from some wise people and thinking about this messege I realize that I can't change who I am, who He's made me to be. But I know that " I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me"Philippians 4:1. Though short that verse requires so much of me, it shows that He doesn't need me to try to be anybody else but he needs me to put away my shame, my discomfort, my inabilities(etc.) and focus on Him."But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you"Matthew 6:33. Again, it requires me to stop thinking about me, oh so hard to do but the good thing is that I have Him to be my strength and focus to do so. And so a praise for the fact that unlike the lost who are without a savior, I have Him. I have no need to try to search within myself for the things I lack, that is a fruitless and unending task. But I have Him. To think about the fact that we have a Savior who is there for us is amazing. Not to be monotonous but its hard not to love the words"we have Him". Thank you Lord for that unexpected thought.
