Then the LORD gave me this message: "O Israel, can I not do to you as this potter has done to his clay? As the clay is in the potter's hand, so are you in my hand. Jeremiah 18:5-6 NLT
I’m not asking if you agree with what God is allowing or doing in your life, but I do want to ask this question, will you give Him permission to do it? A better question might be, does He have the right to do it?
My son made a sand castle once at the beach. I thought he did a super job with it. Several people were commenting how good it was. He wasn’t happy with it, so he smashed it and started over. I didn’t stop him. It was his sand castle.
God made you. He shaped your life. He’s been in control of every blink of your life. He hasn’t caused all the bad things that have happened, but He’s allowed them. He’s got a plan for your life. He knows what He wants you to look like. Doesn’t He have a right to do with His creation as He chooses?
If you aren’t happy with your life right now, I want to encourage you to talk with your Creator. Tell Him your concerns. He cares. Ask Him for changes that line up with your desires. He may allow them. But, if God says “No”, accept His will for your life. He made you and has a right to shape what He made.

What can I do but follow you, For You are the Way, the Truth, the Life, And You`ve promised never to leave me, My Savior, my friend, From beginning to end.
