Adapted from Quiet Times with God

Yet, O Lord, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You our Potter, and we all are the work of Your hand.

God doesn’t require us to be perfect—He made us, and He knows we’re human and will make mistakes. Our job is to get up every day and do our best to serve God with the gifts He has given us. We’ll make mistakes, and when we do, we can receive God’s forgiveness and move on.

God (the Potter) uses cracked pots (that’s us) to do His work. We are containers God fills with His love and goodness to share with the world around us.

Don’t be afraid of your flaws. Acknowledge them and allow God to use you anyway. Stop worrying about what you’re not and give God what you are. Keep your eyes on God, Who is perfect, and what He can do in you and through you.

Prayer of the Day: Lord, thank You for using me despite my flaws. Help me serve You with my gifts and embrace Your forgiveness so I can share Your love with others, amen.
