WE LOVE YOU FATHER~ by CD Swanson
But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand (Isaiah 64:8 KJV)
****
We are the clay, He is the Potter. As we go before Him, just as we are…not disguised, but with a humble and open heart, He will empower us. He loves us and knows everything about us. We are the clay…
****
Think about clay for a moment. It is soft and supple and can be molded easily. If the clay is left without molding it, what happens? It grows hard right? So then it will become difficult to mold it because the properties have hardened it making it difficult to work with freely.
****
So too are our souls if you think about it. Listen, we are the clay, God is our Potter. He “molds” and conforms us bringing us to the specifications of what a faithful soldier and servant should be. If we don’t conform or allow Him to work within us, we will become “hardened” and unmovable. When we’re open to His voice, His words, His ways…we are supple instruments who are able to perform to our fullest capacity according to His will.
****
The beautiful hymn, “Just as I am” is so powerful and pertains to God loving us just as we are– “Just as I am thou will receive, will welcome pardon cleanse and relieve, because thy promise I believe, O’ Lamb of God, I come, I come.”
****
He accepts us for who we are. He gives us free choice to choose Him and love Him. His Son died for us and conquered death for us…He is our author of salvation. He asks that we seek Him and love Him…Seek His face, ask and knock. Jesus promises you will find Him when you look for Him. You will get the answers when you ask…and the door will be opened to those who knock.
****
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened (Matthew 7:7-8 KJV)
****
Our Father who loves us more than anyone ever possibly could is always near, always waiting and always wanting to “mold” you with His loving hands. Surrender to His touch, His voice and His will, and watch how life will be all that it could be and more. For in Him we live forever. For in Him we walk in the light. And, because of Him…we are saved.
There is but ONE GOD and ONE GOD only. The same as He was in the beginning He is Now, tomorrow and always. In full control. Full control…thank You Lord. We are safe in Your hands.
****
Father, we thank You for Your mighty hands of grace. O’ Father God, we ask that You continue to mold us thereby bringing us to perfection in Your sight, while we walk according to Your will, as may You receive the victory honor and praise, now and forever, in Jesus name…Amen.
****
Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name Jah, and rejoice before him. (Psalm 68:4 KJV)
****
But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. (1 Corinthians 8:6 KJV)
****
And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. (Matthew 23:9 KJV)
****
One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. (Ephesians 4:6 KJV)
****
And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. (Revelation 15:3 KJV)
