The Potter, Fingerprints part 2

Jeremiah 18:6 "Behold as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in Mine hand, O house of Israel"

As a potter works, the clay, like a second skin, covers his hands.  The film is so thin that all the little hairs on the back of his fingers are coated.  The tiny particles get caught under his nails and in between the ridges of wrinkles.  If he touches something the fine dust leaves red fingerprints behind.  When finishing a long day at work the potter has red hands.

When He cried, "It is finished..." my potter too had red hands.  His skin was covered with His own blood.  The little hairs on the back of His fingers were completely coated.  His nails were red, and the nails were red.  And as He touches me and reshapes me, thank God, He leaves behind blood stained fingerprints.  Those fingerprints are my salvation.
