We aren't very good at waiting for help; we rush and try to do things on our own all the time. We are gifted and talented, after all. Why shouldn't we be able to do it on our own? Too often, it isn't until we have used all of our own resources that we finally give in and ask for help.

It is at this point that we sit there as the clay, waiting to be shaped on the potter's wheel, waiting to be shaped into the work of the potter’s own hand. As we wait, we hope that God forgives us for shunning God’s help and trying to do it all on our own.

During this season of Advent, let us wait to be shaped and transformed by the Son.
