There are times in all our lives when we think we know more than God. We have this idea in our heads of how this “vessel” of ours should look…but God has a different idea…and this is where the conflict starts. He pushes and prods one way, and we whine and rebel the opposite. But the Master Potter always knows what the perfect vessel will be for the particular type of clay He has on the wheel. Yes, being “remolded” can be quite painful, and then there’s the firing… but at the end, a perfect vessel will emerge from the kiln.
