we are but being formed

its better to be weak easily broken then have to get the crap kicked out of you progressively until a huge explosion occurs. Its like a fire. If it is open air fire then the heat and smoke and pressure can escape, and only affects what is being burned and purified. But, if there is a big roof on the building, it is posible to have an explosion, draft, that is much more dangerous and can cause so many more problems, outside the building.

Jeremiah 18
The potter no matter how big or thick the vessel always creates beauty after its spoiling
Romans 9:19-24
Too bad we cant tell God what to do, he works for himself, which in the end works out pretty well for those who love Jesus and can see and understand the mercies, in struggle and joy.

random thoughts: I am tired. Josh Beckett is a World Series beast. I would like some form of a response, even a hate response. I am behind in reading for apologetics. I want to go kill deers.

first

Jesus is horribly wonderful.
He answers prayers in ways we do not want... but need. He always answers just look and be patient.
He is God and we are not, not a fun one for me sometimes.
Jesus gives gifts that both haunt and bring comfort in his faith, if looked at in the right light.
He is the molder we are the clay, aka: its gonna hurt when we break and have to be remolded, but it is necessary, just decide how long it's going to take.... have a soft heart.
It doesn't matter how good I am it is all by the grace of God, as I am finding out. (we are his workmanship so no one may boast.)
My pride creates my idolatry, meaning my thought of equality with God. Then God takes away my ability to control any area of life, I try to hold the idols, they break because they are made by my own thoughts and hands, which are skewed, then all there is, is God and he holds me in his power as molder and sanctifier.
We are stupid so we can see God's redeeming glory in our recovery from stupidity.
