(by Ben Smith, Chris Tomlin, Pat Barrett)
I am shaped to the tune of His grace
Yet, see the people I face
How can He pour in broken vessels
That which is precious?
For the broken vessel cannot appreciate
What flows through its cracks
Yet, the Potter (God) forms of clay
Purposefully and straightway
And what He completes
Can receive the Word He speaks
And sings into it

Thanks to my friends
Thank you for your friendship and patience with me as a broken vessel; God is patching me up, re-forming me. Sometimes, I am not ready or willing to receive something because I have yet to learn a lesson, or become a doer of the Word in that area. Essentially, there’s been fear…bitterness…and conditions which I allowed to hinder my love.
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
1 John 4:18
Prayer and Affirmation
Thank you, God, for helping me to do what I need to do. I pray you overshadow me with power and grace in the areas I am weak and tired. I pray you overcome my insecurities and help me to grow past them.
Wash me with your Word, Oh God, and let not the worries of this world hinder it (Matthew 13:22; Mark 4:18-19; Luke 8:14; Ephesians 5:26).
His Word will produce fruit from me, a positive growth (Isaiah 55:8-13).
He is able to complete the good work He started in me, perfecting my faith (Philippians 1:6; Hebrews 12:1-3).
Create in me a clean heart, O God (Psalm 51:10).
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
