From Broken to Beautiful – A Vessel from the Hands of the Potter

May 7, 2021 By Yolanda Gray Leave a Comment

In Psalm 31, in his most trying time, David says he feels like a broken vessel—meaning he feels rejected, despised, and repulsive to the world. (v. 9-12) The message says it like this, “like a broken dish in the trash.”

Have you ever felt like this? Weakened by too much stress and the overwhelm of life? And feeling utterly completely damaged and alone?

The issues of life’s hardships, uncertainty, and the day-to-day burdens of the world weigh us down.

Sometimes we don’t experience the Godly beauty of our vessel –we don’t feel like a pretty vase—a colorful and full of life because we are still living with false beliefs, a worn-out narrative of ourselves, and messages of the past that continue to plague us.

We feel flawed, unusable—this is where feelings of unworthiness keep us held back from showing the world the light within.

“Whenever the pot the potter was working on turned out badly, as sometimes happens when you are working with clay, the potter would simply start over and use the same clay to make another pot.” Jeremiah 18:4 The Message

The analogy of us spoken of as vessels—clay pots created and formed by God– is used throughout the Bible. We are a piece of clay, being molded into a beautiful art piece to be used by God for His purpose and our destiny.

The Potter uses the flawed and broken to reshape, remold, and finally create a vessel (you and me) that will hold Holy Spirit life and power to shine so brightly, you will attract others to Jesus. (2 Corinthians 4:7-12)

Praise Jesus that we are His masterpieces, we are loved, we are worthy in Him and created for all good works in the Kingdom here on earth.

We will be exploring this topic and more when we get together in the RVA for Conversations, Connections, and Community. These times are for us to get back to the most essential basics of Kingdom life for God’s power, prosperity, and purpose. There are only a few seats left!

Is it time TAKE BACK YOUR LIFE?

If you can answer “yes” to two or more of these questions, then you may be a woman who is living in chaos—in your mind, in your life-- over-scheduled, over-committed and overwhelmed— a woman who does too much and can’t figure out how to make it all work.
 
Do you find yourself:

  • Anxious, stressed-out more often than not?
  • Just coping with the demands of the everyday, on auto-pilot?
  • Often forgetting appointments/birthdays, etc.
  • Unable to sleep or once you get to sleep; you wake up with roaming thoughts?
  • Looking like you have it together but deep inside you know it isn’t working?
  • Involved in areas or activities that drain your energy?
  • Engaging in unhealthy behaviors—overeating, overdrinking, over-shopping to find relief from what has become your life and your inability to change it?
  • Unable to control others or situations, leaving you frustrated and sad?
  • Filled with guilt because you “should be” “fill in the blank” and “shouldn’t be” “fill-in-the-blank” (doing, feeling, acting this way)
  • With a diagnosis of a stress-related dis-ease?

Are you ready to stop settling? To stop "just dealing with it"? To stop coping? Are you ready to Take Back Your Life and become a vibrant, healthy, joy-filled woman—the one you were created to be?

It was God’s will, right?

Have you ever wanted something (or someone) so badly that you just knew if it didn’t happen for you, life would just not be complete? The more you thought about that one thing, the more convinced you became that this was God’s will for you. It was your dream and you knew it was meant […]
