The Potter Within: Vessel Renewed
Jeremiah 18:3-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The potter scene shows a wheel turning clay into a vessel, and when marred, the potter makes it anew as he sees fit.
Neville's Inner Vision
On the inner level, the potter is your I AM—the living awareness that moves through consciousness. The clay is the self you presently inhabit, and the wheel's turning is the ongoing movement of thoughts and feelings. When the vessel is marred, do not condemn the clay; welcome renewal by consenting to the potter’s design. He makes it again into a vessel that seems good to him, and so it is with you: your life is not fixed but being revised by grace according to a perfect image held in the mind of God within you. As you assume the end of renewal—seeing yourself as the vessel chosen by the potter—you align your feeling with that image. Your outward conditions will unfold in harmony with the inner change. The scene teaches that creation is continuous and intimate: by inner revision, by dwelling in the I AM, you invite a new form, a new function, a renewed sense of grace and favor. Trust the process, rest in gratitude, and remain open to the new vessel that your inner craftsman is fashioning.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit in quiet and declare, 'I am the vessel the potter is forming.' Visualize the wheel turning, feel the new form taking shape, and dwell in the truth until it feels real.
