Beautiful cup

A pair of grandfather and grandmother went shopping at a souvenir shop to find gifts for their grandchildren. Then their eyes were drawn to a beautiful cup. "Look at the cup," said the grandmother to her husband. "You're right, this is the cup of the prettiest I have ever seen," said the grandfather.
As they approached the cup, the cup is suddenly talking 'Thank you for your attention, please note that I used to be not pretty. Before the cup to be admired, I was just a pile of clay that is not useful. But one day there is a craftsman with dirty hands threw me into a spinning wheel.

Then she started twirling me until I felt dizzy. Stop! Stop! I scream, But he said "not yet!" then he began to poke and hit me repeatedly.
Stop! Stop! I yelled again. But these people are still just hit me, ignoring my screams. Even worse, he put me into the fireplace. Hot! Hot! I shouted out loud. Stop! Enough! I yelled again. But this guy said "not yet!"



Finally, he lifted me up from the fireplace and let me cool down. I thought, finished my pain. Oh it's not. After the cold I'm given to a young woman and she began to paint me. The smoke was so sickening. Stop! Stop! I shouted.

She said "not yet!" Then he gave me to a man and he put me back into the fire that is hotter than ever! Help! Stop this torture! I was screaming and crying with a vengeance. But these people are not concerned with my screams. He continues to burn. Having satisfied the "torture" now I'm allowed to cool.

Once completely cool, a beautiful woman lifted me and put me near the glass. I see myself. I'm surprised at all. I almost do not believe, because in front of me stood a cup that is so beautiful. All the pain and suffering which then become vanished when I saw myself.

Reflections: 
This is how God formed us. When God formed us, it is not fun, pain, suffering, and many tears. But this is the only way for Him to change us in order to be beautiful and radiate His glory.

"Think of it as a happiness, if you fall into various trials, because you know that the testing of our produces patience. And let perseverance that get good results so that you become perfect and complete and lacked nothing."
If you are facing a test of life, do not be discouraged. for He is forming you. Formations are indeed painful but after all that process is complete, you will see how beautiful God to form you.
