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.
