Marked by the Potter – v2

We are God’s clay
of this earth, wet dust
cold, a wet lump
on the potter’s wheel
Marked by the potter
God’s hands molding us
God’s fingerprints, whorls,
loops, ridges, God’s palms
leaving marks on us
changing us to God’s purpose
becoming a vessel
of God’s endless love
Poured out to the thirsty
to the ends of the earth
