I was looking at this broken fruit bowl thinking of how when i first made it i had invisioned putting fruit in it. well, it broke during the drying process (you can see the huge crack from where the clay separated). i was going to break it apart, throw some water on it, and start over. everyone was said nooo keep it! so i thought about it and said ok. it has turned out to be my favvvorite piece! imagine that! the very piece i was going to chuck.
The LORD showed me throught this broken fruit bowl that His heart is open to me and His arms are reaching down to me...we wants to give me so much.
If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
Matthew 7:10-12
...how much more will he alse graciously give us all things...Romans 8
just like this bowl is opened because of the crack i invisioned its contents rolling out. i felt like God was saying, 'because of my Son i'm just ready to give you so much...all i have is going to roll out on you, receive it.'
i love looking at this piece of pottery because of the constant reminder it is that the LORD is open to me always.
when i was out at the international house of prayer this guy came up to me and said 'i feel like the LORD's hands are reaching out to you and He's saying just ask me...'
one day i looked at this fruit bowl and immediately remembered what he had said to me. it was like confirmation.
and if my heart is God's, as i delight in Him it becomes so, then whatever i ask will be granted to me because it is His will already.
