I am a lump of clay in God's hands.
? 9:40 AM
God, I am a lump of clay in Your hands. Mould me in Your way. Do and undo and redo all at Your will till the perfection You intended for me is accomplished. Amen!This is the sudden thought that I had while reading the bible and remembering what Xinjun said about my spiritual growth. She said that it boomed till high and went for a dip and plateaued till now.
All of a sudden, I remembered a sermon that I think was preached by Pastor Kong or Pastor Ulf. It was about an analogy of God is doing pottery and the pots are us. We are initially a lump of clay and God was forming us from water and clay. Some way through God realised that there was an impurity there, He decided to restart again.
It made me realised that I had been hit a reset button by God. My growth rocketed but it won't be steady if I rocketed too fast. He brought me back to ground zero and made me grow bit by bit or even allowing me to plateau to let me see the importance of growing steadily in His Kingdom and my walk with Him.
There is no overnight maturity. Without the necessary experiences, how can maturity come? It is just His way of training me. I thank You Lord and I can proudly say I am ready to step out and start growing again at Your pace now.
I realised that I regained some part of my sanity and spirituality especially with the things I did today and being able to be in sync with the world again. I was very amazed by it.
Finally I have start to step out of my own desert and walk towards the Oasis that God has prepared for me.
Finally.
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
