Clay in Potter’s Hand

I love things made of clay and it’s my desire to learn pottery, though I have not learnt it but I am really hoping that one day I will learn.
Whenever I see clay in Potter’s Hand it mesmerize me with the fact that the Potter can mold it to any shape and clay allows the Potter to make it anything he wants.
I am a teacher, it’s my job to help kids and take best out of them but what would happen if I try to discourage them and always point them without even thinking that it can become a strong hold in their lives and that strong hold in my kid’s life is because of me because the Potter (teacher) has not done the job how it suppose to be.
But when I take my students as my kids and make or create them something beautiful and take best out of them then they will be so valuable in the sight of their parents, school and society.
It says:
“A kid is like a bud, if u water it with the right amount, give it sunlight and leave it free to take the air, they bloom and turn to be a beautiful one”
And it is the same thing with the Potter, kids are the clay and we as parents or teachers are the Potters, if u knead them, soak them and fine then properly they will leave themselves in our hands and then it’s our job to mold them and make them beautiful but as human sometimes we get failed in our job and gets frustrated and exhausted but there is a Potter who never gets frustrated or exhausted with us…
Potter gives the clay many shapes, rub it, knead it, soak it in the water and mold it until it gets soft and nice to form something beautiful. And we all know the result,the clay which had no recognition and no value now after all the process it gets a very high value and can be sold at any price in the market.
So the same thing with us, until and unless we submit ourself in the hands of the Potter (Jesus) we may be unrecognised with no value but the time we submit ourself to our Potter and let him make us what he wants us to be, we soon see ourself something different and valuable.
So let’s submit ourself to our Potter and let him make us.
Oh Lord, you are our Father. We are the clay, and you are the potter. We all are formed by your hand.
Isaiah 64:8
So when our father is our Potter how can he make us ugly, unrecognised, unwanted or unvaluable….
Whenever you get these type of thoughts in your mind that you are of no use, unwanted, unrecognised, unvaluable or ugly then know who is your Potter and he not created you with any of these thoughts but he called you his and wanted, loved, valuable, recognised, beautiful…
You just need to know this and proclaim it to yourself…
I am not a broken vessel, I am created by a Potter and I worth a lot.
But always
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding
Proverbs 3:5”
You are who your father is and you are the “CLAY of him HANDS”
When you say, you worth nothing, that time you actually say your creator worth nothing. That he couldn’t create anything good from you.
You are very precious and beautiful.
