My heart sis Jan wrote to me:
" Love the story about the “Cracked Pots”
Isaiah 64:8 “We are the clay, you are the Potter. We are all the work of your hand.”
The overall message contained in 2 Corinthians is "Hope for Cracked Pots." The Bible says, "For we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us." (2 Corinthians 4:7) The secret of the Christian life is realizing that we contain the life of the Lord Jesus Christ released through the Holy Spirit. Even though the container may be a little misshapen, or even cracked, the value is the treasure we contain, not in the container itself. In other words, "It's not about ME!" "It's all about HIM!"
It warms my heart to know that even with all my flaws God still uses me to reach others. "

"....that there will come a time when you believe everything is finished. That
will be the beginning.
Louis L'Amour said that, and he was right. We must let it go. All of it. It will look as if your life is over, and that everything you have worked for has collapsed.
Actually, its construction will have just begun.
It is so trite, I know, but I must say it anyway. I have to say it.
"For every door that closes, there is another that opens."
This is the door you have been looking for...but you could not hope to find it while you were locked behind the first one. "
