Recently I came upon a story I read quite a number of years ago about two pots.
One pot was perfect in every way, the other other had cracks and broken places. Each day a woman filled the pots with rainwater she collected and carried them down the path to her house. The first pot was proud that she never leaked a single drop. The other felt ashamed because no matter how hard she tried, she spilled a lot along the way.
One day the two pots over heard the woman talking with someone who lived nearby, the neighbor exclaimed, "the flowers along your path are so beautiful! what's your secret?" The woman answered, "one of the pots is broken and the water that spills out helps the flowers grown everyday."
We are all like the second pot...with broken parts. Even in our brokenness God loves us. He sees our beauty and purpose. Often our greatest hurts and heartaches can be used to make a positive impact on others.
God took His perfect son and made Him broken to bring healing to us all....
Thank You Father God for these reminders and glimpses of who You are.
