Evening Meditation
Have you ever felt like your brokenness disqualifies you from being used by God? In tonight’s tender reflection, Rachel Wojo shares how our cracks and scars can become windows for God’s light to shine through.
Drawing from 2 Corinthians 4:7-9, Rachel writes:
“But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.”
She reminds us that while the world sees brokenness as a sign of failure, God sees it as an opportunity. In the same way that fragile clay pots held valuable treasures in Paul’s day, our cracked and chipped lives can display the beauty of God’s power and grace.
Rachel shares her own story of grieving after the loss of her daughter, and how God used her words—written through tears—to bring comfort to another hurting soul. Like light shining through a cracked pot, God’s love can pour through us most brightly in our weakest places.
This episode is a gentle invitation to release the lie that our pain and flaws disqualify us. Instead, they are the very places where God’s sustaining grace becomes most visible.
