The potters hands

a wise man once said... a good potter needs both his hands to make perfect pots

the potter start by putting the clay on the spinning wheel, with the one hand he starts to put 1 finger in the clay, then 2 fingers ,.. 3 fingers ,. 4 fingers,.. now the hand is in and he starts to shape the pot, while the other hand is on the outside of the clay and shaping and smoothing the outside.

once the pot is formed the potter starts tapping the clay from the outside, not beating down on it, just little taps. The hand on the inside is the guide and knows exactly how much it can take... and that is the way pots gets molded to perfection

IN THE SAME WAY God does the same, if Jesus is your savior and the  holy spirit is in you the proses starts. little by little God enters into your life and you are becoming more and more aware of His presence. While the Holy Spirit is with in you God is taping on the outside little by little He is smoothing you out. He know exactly how much you can take and wont force more on you than what you can handle...
so little by little God is shaping you to perfection and molding you into the perfect shape.
slowly He will turn up the fire to make you resist the heat of life  
if the proces is compleate there will be no crack or fults in you

Godspeed
