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!
