The Imperfect Pot

I am an imperfect pot. God can compensate for my shortcomings. As Jesus said in 2 Corinthians 12:9, “My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Paul the Apostle goes on to write, “Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.” (Corinthians 12: 9-10)

There are people who think that human beings should be autonomous from God — who try to eliminate humanity’s bond with God. They don’t think we should have a sensitive side which can bond with God — which relies on Him in order to stay emotionally alive. They don’t think we should have physical weaknesses that can be mitigated by God’s intervention. To them, in the mindset of eugenics, imperfect pots should be destroyed. Those who rely on God should be destroyed.

I am an imperfect pot. I need God to compensate for my weaknesses. I need God because I love God.
