Isaiah 64:8 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.
Thank God we serve a patient Lord. How many times has He demonstrated that to you and me?
We can trust Him for everything in our lives — His grace, His love and His character many times over.
How many times have we failed the good Lord, but instead of throwing us away, He continues to love us and work in our lives. He is the Potter and we are the clay.

“Empty and Broken, I came Back to Him, — A Vessel Unworthy, so scarred from Sin. — But He did not Despair... He Started over again — And I Bless the Day He didn't Throw the Clay Away.
“Over and Over, He Molds Me and Makes Me, — Into His likeness, He fashions the clay. — A vessel of Honor, I Am today, — All because Jesus Didn't Throw The Clay Away.
“He is the Potter... I am the Clay — Molded in God's Image, He wants me to Stay. — When I Stumble...And Fall... When My Vessel Breaks, — He just Picks up those Pieces, — He does not Throw the Clay Away...
“A Vessel of Honor, I Am Today, — It's all Because Jesus Didn't Throw The Clay Away.”
