.....My
Dearest Sister......
The
image portrays you, my sister, an angel in the making and doesn't know
it.
Looking down, for you are saddened & blue at this time in your life.
Peace is all you want but you are not able to focus on it; you need more
of God.
Your halo slightly sideways; your wings are tired but you rest.
Moving
forward much slower; heart heavy.
You sit on a "moon" because you feel so far away from others.
Your body is frail and weakened, but your beauty is in tact, inside and
out.
Those who know you well can still see your inward beauty where others,
only your outward because that has been the focus for so long.
BUT
God sees it all!
He sees things He knows you can be and more!
He sees a perfect creature,
the DELIGHT OF HIS HEART.
His plans for you are wonderful and
everlasting!
You SHINE!
Now
polish that halo, make it straight, throw the enemy out the window and
GO SHINE even more for God's glory!!!
God isn't in yoga, wicca, new age, or feng shi.
He is in YOUR heart and He wants in
YOUR WHOLE life.

GOD CAN USE A
"CRACKED POT"
A water bearer in India had two large pots, each hung on each end of a
pole which she carried across her neck. One of the pots had a crack in
it, and
while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of
water at the end of the long walk from the stream to the master's house,
while the cracked pot arrived only half full.
For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only
one and a half pots full of water in her master's house. Of course, the
perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments, perfect to the end for which
it was made. But the cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection and
miserable that it was unable to accomplish the full task which
it had been made to do.
After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke
to the water bearer by the stream.
"I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you." "Why?"
asked the bearer. "What are you ashamed of?" "I have been
able, for these past two years, to deliver only half my load because this
crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your master's
house. Because of my flaws, you have to do all of this work, and you don't
get full value from your efforts," the pot said.
The water bearer felt sorry for the cracked pot, and in her compassion
she said, "As we return to the master's house, I want you to notice
the beautiful flowers along the path." Indeed, as they went up the
hill, the old cracked pot took notice of the sun warming the beautiful
wild flowers on the side of the path, and this cheered it some.
At the end of the trail the bearer said to the pot, "Did you notice
that there were flowers only on your side of your path, but not on the
other pot's side? That's because I have always known about your flaw,
and I took advantage of it. I planted flower seeds on your side of the
path, and every day while we walk back from the stream, you've watered
them.
For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate
my master's table. Without you, He would not have this beauty to grace
His house.
"Each of us has our own unique flaws. We are all cracked pots. But
if we will allow, the Lord will use our flaws to grace His Father's table.
In God's great economy, nothing goes to waste.
