Master Potter...

A Poem by Jamestown

Created by God...

Oh, shape me master potter,
please, shape me to your liking,

Construct me into the man, you desire
me to become,

Form my heart, to love as you're heart loves,

Mold me in a way that, others can view your glory
and honor through me,

Sand off all my rough edges, and help me to
think of others needs, before thinking of my own,

Please! Master potter, design me to resemble more of you,

You are the master potter, I just the clay,
I have come from dust, and dust I will return,
l pray before the dust settles,

That you master potter, are completely satisfied with,
I your loyal and faithful servant, your creation...

The potter has a plan for us all. Through prayer and meditation perhaps we can find it. Nicely done.

Beautiful sentiment. It reads almost like a Psalm. The analogy of God as the potter and we the clay is one I think of often. Well done!

An impressive creation portraying the poet's desire to please his Creator by becoming exactly what he was meant to be--that he might fulfill the purpose for which he was made.
An inspiring piece of work, J!

I used to work in a pottery many moons ago. I would rather my molding be my own creation, but that is me. This is a great way of describing the creation of someone at the hands of another.

Wonderful stuff James.

Oh my damn, James... what else do you have running through that mind of yours?! This is... God, what do I say?! This piece is not of this world. I am just not going to say anything (risks of understatements), BUT I will add this to my favorites!!!

And might I add, when I first read the title, I thought it was going to be about Harry Potter! Haha! :P

I am glad I read this. Thank you for penning down these pure thoughts!

"Mold me in a way that, others can view your glory and honor through me" ... I love how you captured the essence of surrendering to your Master Potter (aka Christ). The faith depicted in this piece is powerful. Without faith, surrendering would be considerably difficult. Great work.
