"The skill of the divine potter is an infinite patience of improvisation. No sooner has one work gone awry than his fingers are pressing it into the form of another. There is never a moment for the clay, when the potter is not doing something with it. God is never standing back and watching us; his fingers are on us all the time,"

I seriously smiled when I read this. I was feeling really restless last night just not able to concentrate on anything...not necessary sad, upset, or anything. Just restless-fidgety I guess? lol I don't know how else to describe it.
Then I read that
and I wasn't
and God is good
and He's not just watching.

But Jesus says: if you will let the real God come into your life, then you will experience a huge freedom from the anxiety over survival; none of the usual concerns over livelihood will furrow your brow or weigh you down....Open yourself to my God whose passionate love is unreasonable and trust Him wholeheartedly....If we let the Lion of Judah run loose as Lord of our lives, He will not want us to be poor, broken, or sad. Yet He may allow it, knowing that in these conditions we are more likely to let Him make us rich, whole, and happy.

I'm going to trust completely-wholeheartedly. =)
Even when I'm poor, broken, and sad.
I want Him to run loose and rampant in my life.
Yup.
Cause he loves me with a unreasonable, all consuming, inconceivable love.
I still love these lines;
Take a ride on the might Lion
Take a hold of His golden mane
This is the love of Jesus
So good but it is not tame.
*sigh*
He's so good.
