From Cracked Pots to Vessels of Honor

That thing with your family, your spouse, or your job, God came to change your existence in it.

Posted on

How many times have you felt like this description was you? You have felt so beat up and bruised by this life, so weighed down by circumstances and things beyond your control. You felt like the world handed you lemons between the bitterness, resentment, and fear that you’ve dealt with for years. Between the broken promises, broken relationships, and broken families, you said to yourself, “I’ve had enough!”

Then Jesus enters the picture! So many have sown so many tears that they have felt that they have cried whole oceans, that they were such damaged goods that God wouldn’t be able to fix them even if He did want them, but NOTHING COULD BE FARTHER FROM THE TRUTH! JESUS CHRIST DOES WANT YOU!!!

“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed and qualified me to preach the Gospel of good tidings to the meek, the poor, and afflicted; HE HAS SENT ME TO BIND UP AND HEAL THE BROKENHEARTED, to proclaim liberty to the [physical and spiritual] captives and the opening of the prison and of the eyes to those who are bound,” Isaiah 61:1

He came to fix the broken-hearted, to restore that which was lost! That thing with your family, your spouse, or your job; He came to change your existence in it. He didn’t just come bringing Promises of fixing them. He is the Solution to all of them.

Jesus declared that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life; that He was the only way into the Presence of Father God. He holds the keys to death, hell, and the grave! He broke the curse off of us and paid the price for our solution that none of us could ever pay!

The ultimate good news is that the way is open for us to obtain every solution to every problem we’re confronted with, every circumstance that appears out of our control, and every situation that confronts us that seems like too much to bear because of the Holy Spirit, 

That old adage, when the world hands you lemons, make lemonade, really only works when the sweetness of God is stirred into the lemons as they’re crushed. God has a way of not only crushing our circumstances but also adding His sweetness to the mix to create something palatable, not only for us but those around us as well.

No matter how much damage you’ve incurred, God has a solution for your existence. He’s able to remold and reshape your life just as the potter does the clay on the wheel. The only catch to it is that we have to allow the Potter to use our clay in the process so that the vessel you thought was ruined can be not only reshaped but used by the Master Himself for another purpose other than our own.

We are no longer our own but have been bought by the precious Blood of Jesus. If we belong to Him, then we need to allow Him access to that which He purchased! Let Him have your brokenness, your anger, your bitterness, your guilt, and your pain. In exchange, you’ll experience waves of His Love and acceptance that only He alone can impart.

Damaged goods or not, HE WANTS YOU just the way you are, regardless of your circumstances. It’s time to allow the Master to reshape your life!
