Hello there.... after so long a time, got some time to blog...Now, what do most people want to talk about? In Sri Lanka, these days it is either cricket or rain. Well, Universities have struck work and students are at home. That too is a topic for conversation. Often I wonder whether people choose their topics or just get carried away with every other bit and piece of news they come across. When that happens, tendency is to give a short or long opinion, depending on the situation one is in and get carried away with any topic of conversation. I don't know about you but I have noticed that when people need to be heard, they voice out any opinion, whether right or wrong. That is a basic of most human needs - to be heard and to be accepted. However irrational or boring it is, however stimulating or exciting the topic it, most times, people just need to be heard. Do you agree?

Preciousness of Clay to the Potter
This blog has its roots in the Good Book called the Bible.
Jeremiah was one day asked to go to the potter's house and watch what the potter was doing. Potter was doing what he was supposed to do - creating a beautiful pot on the potter's wheel. When it became marred on the wheel, the potter turned it into a different pot from what was initially intended it to be.
We are like clay. God is the Potter.
When we accept Jesus Christ as our personal saviour, we are carved out of a greater lump of clay in the world and brought to the potter's house. How very obvious! To be made into a beautiful pot, one must first be a shapless lump of clay. That lump of clay will have a great deal of dirt in itself. Cow dung, stones, roots, decaying leaves could all be a part of this lump of clay, which is supposed to be turned into a beautiful pot.
What does the potter do, when be carves out the clay and brings it into his house? He will first clean and clear it of the unnecessary. Exactly what God will do in our lives, when we believe in His son Jesus. We go through a phase of being cleansed and cleared. Then, on to the potter's wheel. This is the best place for me to be! Why - because when I am on the potter's wheel as a lump of clay, His eyes are totally focused on me and His hands surround me, fashioning me and creating a beautiful vessel out of a shapless lump of clay.
Clay is precious to the Potter. Its good to be in the hands of this God. Try it.
