Broken Pieces

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.

God deals with broken people.  The Broken people who know their weaknesses do not beat their chest because they know that they “lack” and they live by grace.

God uses a nobody to tell everybody about a Somebody; That is Him!!

A bunch of misfits with nothing to lose but everything to gain with God.

The lesson today is that everyone has a purpose however broken they may seem. Piece by piece He makes them whole.
