Christ-centered

My heart is really broken before God right now but in an awesome way. He is working in me and I changing my heart and I am allowing Him to be the potter. I have a peace from Him and I know He will be faithful. He is always faithful. He knows the correct path for my life and for others lives and I can't try to micromanage it anymore. I am not in control. My soul is so broken and allow the Spirit to just flow in. He is working in awesome ways already and I can feel His presence. I want everything I do to revolve around Him and every person I love to feel God and know that I am doing it in His name. If I am not doing it in His name everything I am doing is for nothing. You can't change a bowl that is already hard and complete. We will never be complete on this earth. He has to break the hard shell and continue to mend it and make changes. The changes aren't easy to feel and allow God to do but He has to do it and it makes our faith stronger. He is the master of me I am not. 
Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand. (Isaiah 64:8 NIV). 
“Your hands shaped me and made me. Will you now turn and destroy me? Remember that you molded me like clay. Will you now turn me to dust again? Did you not pour me out like milk and curdle me like cheese, clothe me with skin and flesh and knit me together with bones and sinews? You gave me life and showed me kindness, and in your providence watched over my spirit. (Job 10:8-12 NIV). 
You turn things upside down, as if the potter were thought to be like the clay! Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, “You did not make me”? Can the pot say to the potter, “You know nothing”? (Isaiah 29:16 NIV). 
We know nothing. God knows exactly what He is doing and when He is doing it and why. He knows why He lets certain things happen and He is the One that can fix them. He is all powerful. When we are broken and allowing Him to change us we are more centered around Him and in tune with what He wants us to do and where He wants us to go. 
I have hurt people and people have hurt me. Christ forgives and He wants us to have Godly sorrow but not guilt and anxiety over it. That is not really giving it to God. That is saying this is how I feel and you can't take that away from me. If He can take away the sin of the world I am pretty sure He can take away our feelings and give us a spirit of grace to walk and abide in. That does not mean to right back to sin and doing what you did before because there is grace. Every single relationship we have needs to be focused and directed to Christ. That isn't to say we can't enjoy relationships it means we give it to God and allow Him to do what He wants with that relationship and work how He will. God is control. I don't only just want Him for now when I need something I want to let my life be a broken mess that Christ continues to smooth and refine.
