The artist creates something beautiful where there was once only a blank canvas or a block of marble. The writer creates awe inspiring music or stories from a blank page. God created the universe out of emptiness with only His words.
God formed you and I with specific plans and purposes for our lives. At birth, we were like the blank and empty spaces mentioned above. He even placed us in specific environments to learn how we can fulfill His purposes. He is always working in our lives to draw us near to Him so that He can form us into the beautiful work of His hands.
Isaiah 64:8 says, “But now, O Lord, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.” As a highly skilled and intrinsically good potter, God wants to make something beautiful of your life. Don’t become hard clay, difficult for the potter to mold. Be like soft clay, pliable for the Father’s design. If you will allow Him to mold you according to His design, you will become the glorious creation of His love.
