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
