The Divine Potter

~~~ Jeremiah 18:1-6 ~~~ Psalm 146 ~~~ Matthew 13:47-53 ~~~

This word came to Jeremiah from the LORD:

Rise up, be off to the potter’s house;

there I will give you my message.

What kind of message can you get from 

a lifeless ball of clay?

Perhaps it is a message of hope.

The potter tirelessly works the clay...

the potter picks up the clay...

the potter caresses the clay...

the potter develops a love relationship with the clay. 

Jeremiah had to get up and go down

 to the potter's house.

We do likewise when get up and go to our churches.

The potter's workshop houses all that is needed

 to make the most beautiful piece of pottery.

When we rise up and go to Mass

the potter has the unique opportunity to create

a most beautiful piece of pottery.

The potter desires to create you into his masterpiece.

A vessel ready to be cured in the fire.

A vessel too beautiful to be taken for granted.

The Divine Potter is waiting to mold you on his wheel.

Rise up, be off to the potter’s house...

Rise and go up to the potter's house

he is waiting for you.

The master potter has great plans

to mold you into the most beautiful vessel imaginable.

I am reminded that the clay is not in charge.

The clay does not act alone.

The clay ultimately surrenders

 to the skilled hands of the potter.

I invite you to picture yourself in the hands of Jesus.

Allow him to form you into His beautiful piece of pottery.

You are unique.

The potter calls you his beloved.

Always Blessed with hope in the potter's hands.

Always loved in the potter's hands.

Always treasured in the potter's hands.

~~~ Peace ~~~
