Buoy me up

Don't quit. Life is sure to hand you difficult things. But that's ok, even when you are bewildered and don't know what to do; even when you're overcome and can't escape; even when you are at a loss and in over your head; and even when you feel helpless, battered, and broken.

“God uses broken things. It takes broken soil to produce a crop, broken clouds to give rain, broken grain to give bread, broken bread to give strength. It is the broken alabaster box that gives forth perfume. It is Peter, weeping bitterly, who returns to greater power than ever.” ― Vance Havner

Perhaps the greatest miracle of this concept is that God can use imperfect things to fulfill His perfect purposes. The great plan of happiness ensures the outcome. But we must accept this gift and live accordingly.

It's ok that I am flawed today as long as I am working toward improvement. That's the hope we have in Jesus Christ.

That concept buoys me up today and gives me hope.

Never, ever quit.
