Marred much?

Are you messed up?  Weary?  Is your life a wreck?  Are you nothing like who you thought you would be?  Do you feel like water on a frame of bones?  Helpless against the tide of mediocrity and general blahness that is your existence.  Are you marred??

This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord:  “Go down to the potter’s house, and there I will give you my message.”  So I went down to the potter’s house, and I saw him working at the wheel.  But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him.

Another pot.  Not the one he started out to make.  It got marred.  But that was ok.  He made the one that seemed best to him.  

By the way, I've been there, done that, skipped the t-shirt.  But God is making something beautiful of my life.  Even now.  And he can do the same for you.

Something beautiful,

Something good;

All my confusion

He understood;

All I had to offer Him was

Brokenness and strife,

But He made something beautiful

Of my life.
