♫  Turn on your speakers! CLICK TO ADVANCE SLIDES The Trials Of A Teacup Not Yet!
I haven’t always been a teacup. There was a time in my life when I was just a lump of clay.  Then my Master took me and began  to pat and mold and shape me.  It was very painful and I begged Him  to stop, but He only smiled and said, “Not yet!”
Then He placed me on a spinning wheel  and I went ’round and ’round. I got so sick I thought I wasn’t  going to make it, but then He  finally let me off.
Just as I thought I  was going to  be all right,  my Master put  me in an oven.  I’ve never understood why  He wanted to burn me;  I yelled and begged for Him to stop, to let me out.  I could see dimly through the glass in the oven door,  but He only smiled, shook His head and said,  “Not yet!”
Finally He came and took me out. “Oh, that sure feels better,”  I said to myself. Then all of the sudden, my Master picked  me up and started sanding and brushing me.  “Not yet!” Then He took a paintbrush and started painting colors all over me. The fumes were so strong I thought I was going to pass out. I pleaded with Him to stop, but He continued to smile and said,
Then He placed me in another oven. This one was twice as hot as the first.  I knew that I would suffocate.  I begged, I pleaded, I cried,  but He still only smiled and said, “Not yet!”
I began to feel there was no hope.  I would never make it.  I couldn’t take any more.  It was all over for me.  I decided to give it all up.  “Now!” Then the door  swung open  and Master said,
He lifted me up and He placed  me on a shelf to rest.  Later He came to me with a mirror and told me to look.  As I looked at myself, I could not believe my eyes.  I said,  “Oh my, what a  beautiful teacup.”
Then the Master explained: "I want you to understand that I knew  it hurt when I patted and molded you.  I knew the spinning wheel made you sick.  But if I had left you alone,  you would have dried up and always have been  just a lump of clay. You would not have had  any personality in your life."
"I knew it was hot when I put you  in the first oven, but if I hadn’t,  you would just have crumbled." "I knew it really bothered you to be  brushed and painted, but if I hadn’t,  you would not have had any color in your life." "Oh, how I knew the second oven  was hard for you!  But you see, if I had not put you there, you would  not have been able to stand the pressures of life."
“So you see, when you thought it was all so very hard, I still had you in My care. I knew all along what you  would be today. I had the finished product in mind  from the day I first touched you!” —Author unknown "Your strength would not have lasted, so you would not have survived for very long."
All of us have to go through pains in life; If only we  understand that each such pain is making a better person out of us, our day will be better Have a nice day !!
