Jeremiah 18:4
"And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make."
We are human. And, there is constant conflict going on inside of us, because of our flesh. We fight the enemy on the outside, but, someone can attest to the fact that there is an even greater enemy on the inside of us. Some of what we seem to fight most are habits that we have created within ourselves.
Going into 2011, I've began a DAILY LOVE theme, "Extreme Makeover: The New Year's Edition", and the first question I want to ask is, "What are you willing to sacrifice to make a change?"
We are made of clay (flesh), and our flesh can never be perfect, but this doesn't mean that I shouldn't strive to be better. There is a saying, "Never tell me the sky is the limit when there are footprints on the moon."
So, to start off your extreme makeover, I challenge you to set goals. Remember that you are clay, but never forget that in this scripture, the clay was being formed into something. It was being formed into a vessel. So, even though you may not be where you are trying to go, continue to allow God to form and shape you.
You'll never know how far you can go as clay, until you have been made into a vessel.
DAILY LOVE FROM HIM ABOVE
