DOES HE

"But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand."

Isaiah 64:8
King James Version

My Mother used to say to me "It doesn't matter what I say, you are going to do what you want to do". Does Jesus have His own way in our heart and life or if we listen with our heart can we hear Him say to us "It doesn't matter what I say, you are going to do what you want to do"?

Jesus deserves to have first place in our heart and life because He died for us and paid the price for our sins, a price you and I could never have paid. Adelaide A. Pollard wrote "Have Thine Own Way, Lord". " Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way! Thou art the Potter, I am the clay. Mold me and make me after Thy will, While I am waiting, yielded and still."

Does Jesus have first place in your heart and life? May God help us to give Him the respect that He deserves. I think sometimes we treat Him like a puppet, we put Him on the shelf and only take Him down when we need or want something. May God have mercy on us for not treating Jesus with more respect.
