Broken Vessels Judges 13:1-24;Proverbs 22:6;Proverbs 29:15 Unfortunately, brokenness and pain are universal. It may have been from the pain of abandonment and isolation, the pain of chronic illness or death, or the pain we bring on ourselves through our sin and failure. But we all know what pain feels like, and it feels like being broken.Like clay jars, we are fragile. We can be easily broken—but we do not have to remain "broken vessels." We are never beyond the healing and redeeming power of God. In the face of failure, God responds with restoration.Despite our shortcomings, God will work in and through us.

We may never see or realize the effects but as He told Habakkuk "But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled.
