Another Try

So I went to the potter’s house, and sure enough, the potter was there, working away at his wheel. Whenever the pot the potter was working on turned out badly, as sometimes happens when you are working with clay, the potter would simply start over and use the same clay to make another pot. Jeremiah 18:3-4 Message

Have you ever made a mistake? Perhaps you’ve messed up so bad you thought, “God will never be able to use me again!” There is nothing wasted with God. Nothing that He can’t make over if needed. He didn’t just forgive your past sins when you believed in Him, He forgave your future sins as well.

Ephesians 2:8-9 says; I mean that you have been saved by grace because you believed. You did not save yourselves; it was a gift from God. You are not saved by the things you have done, so there is nothing to boast about.

Stop allowing the past to condemn you and keep you from launching out in obedience today. That ship hasn’t sailed, it’s still waiting for you to step on board. Untie the lines, pull up the anchor and go. You’ll never feel qualified! You’ll never feel able. But with Christ giving direction, you’ll make it.

Father, thanks for making something beautiful of the mess I created of my life. When you saw I was marred, you gave me a new look and a new purpose. You make beautiful things out of the worst messes and I’m so thankful You found purpose in me. All for Your glory in Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
