Clay Pots
Human beings are like a row of hand-made clay pots. Each one is unique, each one fragile, each one with its own beauty and imperfections.
God chooses to fill each of us with his Spirit. His working in us enables us to do over and above what a clay pot can do. It is His strength that is made perfect in our weakness. It is His fullness that overcomes our emptiness. This does not mean the pot will not be tested - but it will overcome. The pot does not need to be perfect - it just needs to be full of grace.
Our survival in difficult times does not depend on our ability or talent or even our tenacity, although these things play a part. We come through our trials when we hold on to the One who fills us.
We should not be frustrated at our weaknesses - these are God's opportunities. Robin Jacobson once said, "Sometimes the cracks in the pot let the light inside shine through."
