The idea is inspired by one of the pastor' s talk.

There are many at a time when I help my classmates to throw waste paper into the waste basket. After all walking is an exercise!
Sometimes, when I smoothed out the creases, surprisingly I find just 1/4th of the paper used! ''Tis sad indeed, so what do I do?:)

Yup ! As the title says, I recycle! Err...by practicing all my drawings or writing or store them as a bundle off the corner at my house.
But ofcourse there are times when I throw them off too..due to lack of space.

And then there's the case of many plastic bottles being binged by the world thanks to the usage of bottled water. (Sadly, me also included)
And several times I tried to make them useful, sadly in the end, I had to throw them off....

Sigh.

The good news is ...God is not like that at all!😊😃😊😃😊😃

Our Dear Father always keep on moulding us just as a potter. When we've got mistakes, He is always gracious to mound us into His beautiful creation. The metaphor is very popular. Yet I'll mention the verse;-

Jeremiah : 18:4
And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make.

If we really think of the sour experiences that we had in the past...they had a role in making who we are now!
For instance, I'll use an instance from my life.

I'm and used to be a shy person. But in my Year 3, a teacher was supportive of me that she made me participate in some public events (at school) like exhibitions and assembly.

Those times, my mind used to groan and moan asking God, the infamous question.

Why?

The potter is moulding the clay! The former stature was not in good condition. He puts the water on it and makes into another shape.

Now? The result of the moulding became fruitful! I'm still shy, but if I'm given to say something in the form of speech or elocution(for my Sunday class, competitions), the words arrive on their accord!

Another metaphor which goes along with the topic is Refining.
A popular analogy too. Yet I'll take a moment to reiterate the idea.

A blacksmith or goldsmith would expose the metal to a very high temperature to refine the metal.

To make the metal shine!😊😃

Praise Almighty God for His Amazing Patience and Correction!

So let's also take this mighty work into consideration! Let's all put away the notion that some are useless or has no value (who knows, at circumstances, we may be led to those train of thoughts sadly)

If God Almighty does not consider, why should we?😊

And I hope I could get some recycling ideas cookin';)

Hope you lovely brothers and sisters recognise the works He does in your life too! Feel free to share your experiences!
