The Potter’s Hands

The Potter’s Hands
As I contemplate the value of family and friends, only two words come to mind "If Only".
If only they see me as My Lord sees me, they would know there is no need to measure.
If only they see the heart that He sees in me, there would be no words to injure.
If only they knew He died because I am a sinner, and fall short of any perfection, they would know I have faults too and am forgiven in Him.
If Only, they knew I have an audience of One, and if they did, they would know if I have done anything to offend, injure or fall short of perfectionist eyes, that He and He alone will refine me with His perfect hands.
If Only, they knew in the eyes of The Potter, the grandest design is in His hands in me. And as any artist would know, a paint brush or Photo shop can never capture the true depths of the soul as He.
If Only, being Christian meant I was perfect. Ahhh, but then, would I not need the Savior anymore?
As for me I think I will wait on the Potter’s Hands to determine the design he has planned for me.

You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 1 John 4:4: 4You
Love In Him,

For the one I love

Ok so I am not in a relationship and have not been for a vary long time...by choice.However that being said that does not mean that I have not love, nor does it mean that I have given up on the possibility of my one and only love. IT is really hard work and takes alot of energy to be with that one someone every day of your life and find a harmony that says... I can be me and he will love me, but loves me enough to not let me stay stuck there with no ambition to grow. There are so many marriages and partner relationships that spark in the beginning of bliss then life happens, reality, and the tooth paste cap left open, and socks on the floor, and the lazy bone that has a tendency to make the environment a lot less obvious of how much it is loved and cared for. Sometimes I think all one needs is to take the B vitamin daily and BE the love. Pick up your own socks, put that cap on the tube and get up and make the house a home FULL of love. If you know your love is going to be home soon and tired, man what VOLUME would it speak if the one home had soft music, the smell of cookies cooking in the oven and a plan or the start of dinner, and an obvious visual that something was cared about in the home today. On the other hand...the one that is so much more out in the working 8-12 hours a day not be so vext that he or she cannot see what thoughtful little or lot done and spoken appreciation of it. Having been single for so long, it is easy to become complacent and not care what my home speaks. Does it say I care: this house is a home because I do. Do those who enter here feel warm and welcome; Greeted as someone important. I hope for me the answers are a resounding YES.I am single and I am satisfied to be so, until one day that one someone is intermingled into my real life. I have had dating, relationships, marriages, and none that have worked to date. So in my attempt to find what works in the complicating description of Love, I know this... I know what does not work. So God willing when he comes along I will remember and apply my own words....and take my B Vitamin and BE the Love, Be the peace maker, Be the one creating the love by what (I) do: not what I say I want, or say I need, or say say say, words words words.In a nut shell Love is an action and it cannot be returned void. Your footprints were left on a heart no matter what.To have a life long friend B 1 dailyBe safe,Be happy,B the blessing.Loves you,He and me
