reworked

8/31/10 I have been reading from and praying around Jeremiah 18:1-11, where the LORD takes Israel and reworks her like a potter does with a piece of clay. It is not thrown away; it is reworked, reformed, remade under the patient, strong hands of the potter. As I walked and prayed this morning, I brought to mind persons and situations, some which seem hopeless (cancer diagnosis, flooding in Pakistan, lack of peace between Israel and Palestine) and lifted them to God. I wondered about each, "Can You not turn it around, can You not rework it?" God, our potter, doesn't give up. God keeps turning us around, molding us, reworking us.

Love,
Lynn
