Potters Clay

President Ezra Taft Benson said, "The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ takes the slums out of people, and then they take themselves out of the slums. The world would mold men by changing their environment. Christ changes men who then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature." Christ takes who we are and helps us to make something better! I love the scripture in Alma about being spiritually born of God and having his image in your countenance! Christ changes our countenance and our hearts! That change comes as we follow his example! It changes us from the inside out! That changes brings happiness that cannot be found anywhere else! We have to be willing to change for the Savior to change us! He is waiting to make something better of us! I love the analogy of clay in the hand of the potter. He can make a beautiful masterpiece of our lives if we let his hands change us! I know he lives and loves us! He wants to make something out of our lives! Let each of us be the clay in the potters hands as he shapes us from the inside out!
