Passage: Jeremiah 18:1-12
"You're not a failure - you're just not finished. When God has His way and He's finished, you will be a beautiful piece of pottery in His potter's house, made for a useful task, made for His glory."
"God alone is the creator, He's the healer, He's the maintainer. Sometimes on any given day, I say, 'What went wrong?' I can take an honest inventory of my life - how I think, how I react. I'm a pastor, why am I panicked? Why am I afraid? I'm supposed to be a leader who confidently knows that a sovereign God is in control. Sometimes my humanness gets the better of me a lot like you. But then I realize that nothing has gone wrong, God just isn't done yet. He's still working on me, and I shouldn't be discouraged. I'm His work in progress, and so are you."
