Be the best box you can be

Ever felt unworthy?

I have always questioned God, asking why He would continually bless such a sinful fool who continues to fail to be righteous over and over again despite knowing the law and the consequences.

I know that Jesus' ultimate sacrifice is what allows God to see us as clean, worthy souls, but I still struggle with the continuous feeling of being unworthy and questioning His goodness to me.

Yesterday I heard a portion of a message from Jenson Franklin that gave me a new perspective. He said to imagine ordering a pizza and when the delivery arrives you open the door to see the driver holding your pizza in their bare hand (not knowing where that hand has been or when said hand was last washed). As you watch your cheese running down their arm you ask, "where's the box"?! He illustrated how a pizza box costs about 39 cents but has so much more worth when it comes to getting your pizza delivered and what gives the box it's great value is what's inside. The box is the vessel.

Wow just wow! The light came on and I finally realized it is true I'm not with much without God, but with Him that all changes.

What a fantastic illustration of how God makes all the difference. My new motto -BE THE BEST BOX YOU CAN BE!

Getting started - the next gen..

Hello all!
So this morning about 3:30 a,m. I woke up and was chatting with God. I was expressing my sorrow for the opportunities I've lost to share the amazing things He's done in my life and the wonderful revelations he has shared with me.

God said - you know.. you have access to the world wide web - share your stories on a blog. As I lay in my cozy bed in the darkness I thought, that's a great idea and snuggled in to return to my slumber, then He said - oh I meant starting right now! In typical God fashion there was no mistaking what He was saying, so I stumble to grab my tablet.

If the technical stumbling blocks are any indication of Lucifer's efforts to hinder this plan, then this is going to be a great tool for God. After a hijacked search engine, 3 different browser attempts, a software update, restart, and a keyboard with a mind of it's own and almost an hour later I am finally getting this thing going, which reminds me - better save this now before I lose it ;)
