Hope in Brokenness

We live in a time when people tend to accumulate a lot of stuff. And when something breaks, we just toss it and get a new one. But what if the thing that’s broken is… me? In Jeremiah 18:1–11, God uses the image of a potter and his clay to teach His people that He doesn’t just throw them away. Instead, God lovingly reshapes and restores us when we repent. Just as a potter sits at the wheel and reworks spoiled clay into something new, God’s mercy gives us a fresh beginning. He can take what’s been damaged and make it into something beautiful. We must yield to the hand of the Potter by repenting of our sin and seeking revival—because recognition leads to repentance and repentance leads to revival.
