Clay In the Potter's Hands

A beautiful evening in Santa Monica beach in California. There I saw a Chinese man doing something special. He was a Face Maker. He can make the image of your face in clay. What you need is Twenty Minutes and Twenty Dollars. I was delighted in his artwork and asked him to make the image of my face. He asked me to sit in front of him quiet and still for twenty minutes. That was hard for me. My mind was still active and some thoughts passed through my mind. I remembered the Creation Picture in The Bible. God created man in His Own Image and gave him lots of Blessings. Man destroyed those privilages by committing sins. But still God's Mercy is protecting us from all kinds of dangers. Then I remembered a scene from The Book of Prophet Jeremiah in the Old Testament. The Lord send Jeremiah to a potter's house. There Jeremiah saw a potter working at his wheel. Whenever a piece of pottery turned out imperfect, he would take the clay and make it into something else. Then The Lord said to Jeremiah " Haven't I the right to do with you people of Israel what the potter did with the clay ? "Look at that lady. Her movements have rhythm and beauty. We need rhythm, order and beauty for our lives.Let the Good Lord, Who give rhythm, order and perfection be praised and glorified.
