Many times in Scriptures they tell to "harden not our hearts, or stiffen not to their necks". I never really though much about it. But about a year ago i visited a baptism church. The preacher used the one of those Scriptures and related it to Clement. How the workers shape and form the soft Clement, as fast as they can. Cause when is drys is hard and impossible to change. At the part all you can do break it. Its the same way the potters clay. They came their clay moist and warm but to hot to make the clay hard.
God is the Potter of our lives, he is shaping and forming our soul into great masterpieces. Clay like our soul when is dry or what is called "bone dry' it belong the point of shaping. When we harden our heart we become set in our ways and unwilling to change or repent. We rebel against God cause we reject truth, become stubborn, and angry. When harden our heart many times is cause we feel God has treated us unfairly. Like potter that keep the clay warm with heater. God gives us warm adversity to keep us humble to God. Its up to us if we let our heart turn hard. We always have a choose to turn our heart to the Lord or away to lord.
Don't hard your heart to God, He like a potter is shaping your soul. It may hurt, he may remove part of you that you think that you need. The clay can't tell potter what to do, all it can do is accept the changes. God has a design or plan for all of your lives. And becoming what he wants is long, painful, slow process but in the end its worth its.
