Good morning John, brother of James. I hope you have a wonderful, creative day. I don’t know if you know this, but an unfired pot is useless. It breaks easily. It cannot hold liquids. And it just looks ugly. It is possible to make pots that are useful with one firing. However, the beauty and the utility for long time use requires a glazing of the pot and a final firing. So, if we think of redemptive suffering as God’s way of making us useful, it doesn’t happen overnight. But it does enable us to become useful with or without cracks.
chesed ve shalom,
