Mold

God has given us the gift of free will, involving a certain ability to shape our own destiny.

And yet we know that we, our lives, and our destiny are very often affected by events and the world around us.

Today’s reading (Jeremiah 18:1-6) reminds us of the far greater effect that God can have in our lives.

Indeed, like clay in the hand of the potter,
so are you in my hand...

May we keep our focus on God, open ourselves to his grace, and let ourselves be molded by the Lord.
