A Happy Healthy Church: Devotions From Time of Grace MinistryEjemplo

MY MINISTRY: BROKEN POTS WANTED

Who can stand proud, arrogant, gas-filled witnesses for Christ? I don't like listening to them and neither do you. However, I sure don't mind humility. I will pay attention when someone is willing to admit, "I've been a bozo and a fool, but God showed mercy on me. It is my pleasure to share that mercy with you."

That's why God uses broken pots like you and me. Your flaws, cracks, stains, and chips don't disqualify you. In fact, people who can testify about God's mercy shown to the unworthy sound a lot more refreshing than someone who pretends never to have sinned.

Here is the truth: "Because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions" (Ephesians 2:4,5). It was for just such a sinner as you that Christ came, for just such a time as right now.
