"The vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it." Jeremiah 18:4
"Shortcomings you had hardly recognized or at least for which you had had no sense of sorrow now cause you trouble and dismay.
That is in itself a sign of progress.
As you see your slow progress upward, in spite of your longing and struggle, you will gain a divine patience with others whose imperfections trouble you."
