I am so thankful for the challenging questions that Kim at To Know Him gives to us from week to week. I regret that I've been out of the loop the last few weeks but am quite happyt o be back. And what a great question today! She asks us:
Is there a deep hurt in your life/heart that you have not let God heal yet? If yes, are you ready to let God begin the work of healing your heart? (Feel free to post the specifics if you would like, and remember you can always post anonymously)
For those of you that answered no to the question above, has there been a hurt from your past that God has healed? If so, was the healing instant or a process? (Again, please give specifics if you feel so led, and again you can post anonymously)
I can't even begin to think of where to start. I could write for hours on this topic! I posted this picture of the Potter's work because to me, it correlates so well with this question. I am the pot and He is the potter. And my pot has been cracked so many times that there are too many to count. But He, in His infinite wisdom, has always put me back on His wheel, moistens the wound and begins to rework me into the vision that He has for me. The cracks are always my fault. But He is the Potter. He continues to mold me and shape me according to His will. The molding and shaping usually doesn't feel so great, but I know that without a doubt, the finished product will be beautiful in His sight. I thank God for the "cracks" that I have experienced along the way. Without the Potter and without the cracks, I would still just be a solid lump of clay. And like the picture illustrates....I'm full of His fingerprints.
