The potter puts a lump of clay on a wheel, turning it with his foot pedal while he shapes it inside and out. Applying pressure for an opening, he makes a useful vessel. God is the potter. We are the clay. Whenever pressure comes in our lives we often jump off that wheel. An unfinished vessel has no use. If you jump off, don’t wonder why God isn’t using you. We must let God finish his work.
 
And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. Jeremiah 18:4
When Jesus first saw me, I was marred. He didn’t throw me out. He put me back on the wheel and made another vessel. God is willing to put us back on the potter’s wheel when we damage our life. God will shape us until we are fit for use.
 
A lump of clay is just dirt. The potter makes it useful. Only God can take something worthless and make it precious. There is never a point in your life when you are done. God will use you in every way he can if you will let him. God can use anybody. Don’t jump off the wheel until he is finished.
