The Potter - by Likeleli

This one is my favourite poem, it reflects my understanding of God's role is in my life - which is, He is my creator and the one who holds the purpose of my life in His hands.
It was inspired by a sermon by ps At Boshoff @ CRC

"You formed me from the mire clay
Made of soil and water and a breath of life
You shaped me for your day
For your purpose you called me alive

as a formless seed you perceived me perfect
you looked at a rough draft of my design and said: it is good!!!
In my brokenness you found me intact
At my completion you looked again and declared: it is good!!!

You formed me in your likeness
I am like clay on a potter's wheel
When I'm marred by circumstances and blinded by darkness
You break me down to make me and perceive me perfect still

I do not dare question your calling for my life
I do not dare jump off the Potter's wheel
Not before my time has arrived
For incomplete I cannot serve the Potter's will

You formed me from the mire clay
You began my creation with the end in mind
You created me for this day
I am perfected under the Potter's light!!!"
