Romans 9:21
Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use?
I think this is one of the great challenges of following Jesus. That is, we must realize and accept that the purpose for which God is forming us may be more "common" than "noble".
God makes some people to have Billy Graham type impacts. You know, headliners that become almost household names even outside of the Christian community.
For the rest of us though, our purpose is not so "noble". However, we mustn't think that "common" means unimportant. It is awesome and terribly important to be made for even a common purpose when the Potter is God Almighty!
God is good!

How true. How many of us aspire to "just" give a cup of cold water to someone, but even that is "noble" in God's eyes.
