The Pottery Shed

Weak Vessels Held by Jesus

Broken Planter in Use
My broken pottery planter I decided to use, anyway, in my courtyard.

Recently, I made this large planter to put in my courtyard. When I placed the glazed piece in my kiln, I stood a small pot on the unglazed part, which caused it to crack. I was so disappointed. 

But I decided to try and find a way to use my planter anyway. And it spoke to me – this broken vessel supported by a wire basket, almost like hands holding it up with its broken part hanging above. God uses us, the broken. None of us our complete yet, whole, or fully transformed into the image of Christ. It’s our destiny, our hope, and we are on our way. But today, we are like this planter needing the Lord Jesus’ hands to hold us up to do the work He’s called us to do, live the life glorifying Him with His power shown in these weak vessels, the clay pots of our perishing bodies.

Pottery Flower Sprig and Redemption

I am encouraged by this message. In this audio message, I share a recent event, where the Lord Jesus has greatly inspired me. He is in control, and all I need to do is to listen and believe, and allow Him to bring great things. What’s best for me – and you! I hope you enjoy this special message of redemption and a pottery flower sprig I made through the leading of God’s Spirit.

    We should reflect the glory of the Lord and His redemption in our lives.

“And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.”

2 Corinthians 3:18

A Pot in God’s Hands Turns Out Perfect!

In this audio, I talk about a plate that I tried to make half and half – half hand-building, and half made on the wheel. I use the illustration to speak about the nature of clay and compare it to our human tendencies.

I hope you enjoy!
