Cracked Pots

Everybody is defective in some way. Only God can make us "run" like we were designed to do.

God works through jars of clay, or what Joyce Meyer often calls "cracked pots." This means we are flawed, so when people look at us and see amazing things happening, they know it must be God at work because it certainly could not be us. 1 Corinthians 1:27-29 says, "God chooses the weak and foolish things on purpose so no mortal can have pretense for glorying in His presence."

God will use anyone who has a willing heart as a means to advance His kingdom.

I found this analogy from Joyce Meyer and thought it was so good ... Imagine a pot with a lamp in it and a lid on it. Even though it may be filled with light, no one can see the light within it. Yet if the pot is cracked, the light will shine through the cracks. In the same way, God works through our imperfections.

In our weakness, the Lord's strength shines through.

Humbled and undeserving,
Dalinda
