The urgings of the Potter – v2

molded, transformed
our form taking shape
the push, the tug, the calling out
the urgings of the Potter
seated at His wheel

His will, His hands, His artistry
shaping us, preparing us
worthy vessels, out into
the kiln, the crucible
the challenges of the world

ever ready to repair, to heal
to renew our brokenness
there when we are chipped
shattered, able, the Potter alone,
to make us whole once more
