At the Potter’s House



My pot is/has:
  1. Three parts
  2. Round
  3. Top opens
  4. Different shades of the brown color
  5. Rugged feel
  6. Pale and mate colors inside
  7. Rugged bottom (fire cooked?) - more rugged than rest
  8. Top edge larger than pot itself
  9. Handle twisted
  10. Decoration even but a brown uneaven line
  11. Cannot be held with one hand (at least my hand!)
  12. Circular line round shape, Vertical line, vertical shape
  13. Imperfection on one side
  14. A few tiny little holes
  15. Inscription at the bottom
My pot is different because it was made for a special and unique purpose. It was made intentionally and not randomly. Despite its ruggedness it is to be used for the best. Yes, it has imperfections but still will be used to accomplish its purpose.


"... I went down to the potter’s house, and I saw him working at the wheel. But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him. Then the word of the Lord came5 to me. He said, “Can I not do with you, Israel, as this potter does?” declares the Lord. “Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, Israel. Jeremiah 18:1-5
