:* The Potter’s Hand *: (986 hits)

God Is Offering Himself To

Us Daily, And The Rate Of

Exchange Is Fixed:



Our Sins For His Forgiveness,

Our Hurt For His Balm Of Healing,

Our Sorrow For His Joy.



- Barbara Johnson



Suffering Is Seldom An Item On Our

List Of Requests To The Lord.



But When It Crosses Our Past And

We Are Able By His Grace To Keep

On Walking, Our Lives Become Messages

Of Hope To The World And To The Church.



- Sheila Walsh



Just As Potters Kneads Clay

To Remove Impurities And Air

Bubbles, God Removes Impurities

To Make People Useful For His

Service.



Just As Potter Turns The Wheel

And Shapes The Clay Into A Useful

Vessel, So God Uses The Turning Of

Events To Shape His People.



In Light Of The New Covenant God Has

Established With Us Through Jesus Christ,

We Can Trust The Master Potter To Work

Out Our Imperfections And Gently Mold Us

Into The Likeness Of His Son { Ro 8:29}



What A Liberating Concept:

That Our Hate – Our Anger – Need To Be

Prayed.



Burying It Will Not Make It Go Away.



Suppressing It Contaminates Our Souls.



If We Fall To Take It To God, It Will Leak

Out And Destroy The World.



-Sheila Walsh



Give Him Your Pain.



Give Him The Guilt You Feel, The Heartaches

That Come To Us All.



They is Part Of Living, But If You Focus On

Jesus Christ, He Alone Can Ease Your Heartache.



Then He Uses Us To Dry The Tears Of Others.



- Barbara Johnson
