When they had all had enough, He said to His disciples, Gather up now the fragments (the broken pieces that are left over), so that nothing may be lost and wasted.
Don’t just give God what you are and what you feel you have to offer—give Him what you are not. If you make mistakes or feel that you are lacking in several areas, give it to God and let Him be your all. If you give God everything you are and everything you are not, He will give you everything He is and has. Victory is not about what you can do; it’s about what God can do through you.
Paul said that God’s strength was made perfect in his weakness. Jesus said to gather up the fragments, so nothing is wasted. If you will give Jesus all of you, even the worn-out, used-up fragments, He will make something awesome out of them. Let God begin to flow through your strengths and your weaknesses.
Prayer of the Day: Lord, I give You all that I am and all that I am not. Please use my weaknesses to reveal Your strength and power through me, as I know I could never accomplish anything on my own, amen.
