We are all but clay
formed on the Potter’s wheel
And are day by day
molded according to His will
Whatever may happen to us
throughout this life we live
Whether a minus or plus
we must take and give
That we may be shaped
as precious in His sight
From defects have we escaped
in firing through His might
In the Potter’s loving hands
with His care and skill
All through this life’s demands
we must be formed until
That we are made perfect
the shaping may be hard
And not what we expect
when the past is marred
But in wisdom we grow
as in life we age
All this we will then know
when we reach the final stage!

Yes! This is the way it is, and we should welcome each experience as part of the molding and making us into what He would have us be!
Keep on keeping on, Terri!
Thanks for your comments Charlie! I always say, “I wouldn’t be who I am today if I hadn’t gone through what I’ve went through.” and that’s the truth. Surviving 10+ years with an abusive man made me strong and I learned the meaning of courage. Surviving the drugs gave me an understanding and empathy for addicts that I never had before, etc. Life is a journey of learning and growing, isn’t it?! Peace and love…
Thanks for the pingback! I appreciate it so much. Blessings, Terri
