The Potter and His Clay - A Spiritual Analogy

Our hearts are hard like stone. We lie by the way with millions of other stones. When we have the re-birth experience that is when we are born again of the Holy Spirit we are gradually broken into dust and form clay.

It is only at this stage that our Heavenly Father can begin to mould us into His Image until finally we are perfect as He is perfect - which is the end of our spiritual journey.

This journey entails two things:

1. Allowing God to break you - which entail the giving up of our will. A surrender of our lives to God. He knows our hearts, as the psalmist says in Ps 139:1-2, he has searched our hearts; he knows when we sit and when we stand. If we allow God to come into every area of our life, our careers, our relationships, and our every desire and submit ourselves to His will, then He will take all that is not of Him and break that.
