If you have trusted Jesus as your only way of salvation, then God is in the process of changing you into something Awesome. Everyday of our life He works, shaping us, molding us, all to be used for HIS purpose. I cannot begin to comprehend why He would use me to accomplish His work!
One of the things that I have found out is that we often fight against what God wants to do in our lives. Rather then surrender, we go kicking and screaming! And all that does is keep us from becoming all that God desires us to be.
All throughout scripture God uses pictures and stories to help us understand exactly what He is talking about. One of the things I was reading was the image of God being the potter, and us being the clay. (Jeremiah 18)
I was at a conference one time and the speaker was talking about how when you are making a pot out of clay. The clay will have a tendency to resist the hands of the potter. So bits of clay fall off the mound little by little to what he called "waste away".
He said that if it goes on for too long, no clay will remain. So it got me to thinking, that that is the same with us. When we resist God, and the things that we know He wants us to do in our lives for him. We can easily find ourselves "wasting away" in our own sin...
I don't know where your at in your walk with God at this point in your life. But I do know that you can start fresh and new TODAY!!! Remember, He is the potter, we are the clay. We just need to allow Him to shape us to what He wants us to be.
