Most of us have times in our lives where we wonder why would go use me for anything. We stumble and fall, we fall short of feeling worthy of any grace. I recently made 6 wooden crosses for the men who lead tuesday morning prayer at my local church. I didn't select the finest wood I could. I looked through the scrap wood box in my fathers wood shop. I used pieces that weren't perfect. I used pieces that had imperfections. We too aren't perfect, we have scars and blemishes left by the world. Still Jesus chose us. He bled and died for imperfect pieces of wood, like us. We aren't worthy of the love and grace he showed us...still he Hung because he Loved us. We may be imperfect pieces of wood on the outside....but with Jesus guiding me...I am all he needs!
You too might feel too scared and imperfect to be used. We can all be used for his glory. He can always make something beautiful out of something imperfect...something great out of scraps!
Father I am only pieces of scrap wood...but with you living in me I am something beautiful. I pray that you continue to sand and finish me in the way you need me! Amen
