These scriptures tell us, that whatever God, wants to do with us He will do it. God, is daily molding and shaping his children, like a vessel of clay. God, wants to perfect us, but sometimes to get the bad parts out of clay, you must completely tear it apart and rebuild it. When this process comes along, we're destined to go through a lot of trials and tribulations. When the trials and tribulations come, then comes pain. However, it's only for a while, until God, has us the way He wants us. Once the rebuilding is done, we then reap the righteousness and fruit of the Holy Spirit. We grow through all that and it benefits us. Don't ask me how pain benefits anyone, but it does. It helps us to grow stronger it brings us closer to God, because we begin to seek Him more, than ever. Not only are the children of God, like clay, but the children of this world are as clay in God's hand. However, they will be destroyed in His hand and will not be rebuilt. The whole world is as clay in the potter's hand. God, can't be stopped because clay can't rise up against it's creator (The Potter). The point of this message today, is to tell you God, is in control. If you're a child of God, don't worry you're in God's hands. If you're not a child of God, you can become one with a simple prayer. We'll get to that prayer at the end of this message. I'll name a few reasons you want to be a child of God:

1. God, loves you!
2. God, sent His Son for you.
3. If you're not with Him, you're against Him. If you're against Him, when time comes you will be destroyed!

I think those are a few nice reasons. It's kind of like this: When you're not with God, you're like a broken tool to a handy man. He can't use you and He has to throw you away. We were all as broken tools, at one time, but we weren't broken beyond repair. If you keep hearing the knock of Jesus and you don't let Him, into your heart, you will become broken beyond repair. Once we (Followers of Christ) accepted Christ and repented of our sins, He was able to repair us. None of us are perfected yet, but we won't be until the day of the return of Jesus Christ. If you're not saved and would like to be repaired before you're beyond repairing, let's say a prayer.

Prayer: Dear Lord, we come to you right now and ask for forgiveness of all our sins. Cleanse us with your Son's blood and we forgive all those who've wronged us. We forgive them, because you forgive us. Mold us and shape us into your perfect image, day by day. Make us into what you'd have us to be. Please give us your Holy Spirit. In Jesus, name. A-men!
